All of our lumber comes from FSC Certified Green Forests.
We use several sources for our Pine and Hemlock including the Collins 96,000 acre
Lakeview Forest in Klamath County Order, the 94,000 acre Almanor Forest tucked into
the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California and Sierra Pacific Industries
Timberlands in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties of Washington State.

Sustainable harvesting can be defined as a method of harvesting that provides a constant supply of wood
resources throughout the landscape, with future timber yields unaffected or improved by current harvesting methods. ...
Foresters emulate natural disturbances with their harvesting methods to maintain these balances.
Our lumber is harvested in these forests using "Single Tree Selection". Typically, the harvest is only 2 to 4 trees that
are hand selected per acre of forest. This is the most responsible method of harvesting trees. In addition to protecting
the forest, this type of forestry also protects wildlife. For example, Trees are inspected for wildlife before selection.
Trees are never harvested if they contain nests. Excessive bird droppings (White Wash) marking the bowl or ground around the
tree are examples of nest indicators. Harvesting by Single Tree Selection, the "Light Touch" has maintained a sustained balance
between vegetation and wildlife not found using more intensive methods to harvest trees.
