Back in the Woods!
Under current state policy, Big Creek is considered an essential business and this includes our forestry and logging operations. Our Registered Professional Foresters and loggers are working full time to provide our customers with the finest redwood products available.
Did you know that in the early 1980’s the average tree size delivered to our sawmill in Davenport was 780 board feet? Today, the average tree size is in excess of 1,300 board feet.
Remarkably, many of the trees currently shipped to our sawmill come from local forest lands that have been harvested several times since the 1980’s. This amazing growth is the result of the single-tree selection harvesting methods pioneered by Big Creek Lumber decades ago. By continuing to use these sustainable harvesting practices, Big Creek should be able to supply our customers with quality lumber for years to come.
