STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Spokane, Wash.&#150;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#150;December 19, 2006&#150;Potlatch Corporation (NYSE: PCH), a real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced
its agreement to acquire approximately 76,000 acres of prime forestland in Wisconsin for $64.5 million from Tomahawk Timberlands, LLC, and Tomahawk Highlands, LLC. The transaction is expected to close in early 2007. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The forestland, located in the north-central part of the state, contains well-managed hardwoods and is made up of diverse age classes with significant
amounts of mature timber. The vast majority of the land is concentrated in contiguous blocks less than five hours from Chicago and Minneapolis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">&#147;The forestland, which consists of high-value mature timber, has been under excellent long-term forest management,&#148; said Vice President of Resource Management Brent Stinnett. &#147;The land complements our existing holdings in
Minnesota, has prime recreational values and will help further establish our presence as a leading forestland holder in the Lake States region.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Potlatch owns 310,000 acres in Minnesota, a sawmill in Bemidji, and has been operating in the region for more than 40 years. The company also owns a sawmill in Gwinn, Michigan. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;This acquisition is a perfect example of the execution of our strategy,&#148; said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Covey.
&#147;Our objective is to maximize shareholder value through identifying and acquiring land with strong timber values.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We are
focusing our growth in areas where we have experience and know the lay of the land,&#148; added Covey. &#147;Additionally, this purchase should allow us to utilize a 1031 exchange and avoid built-in gains taxes on any sales of like-kind properties
that may occur.&#148;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
