Our Western Washington Timberlands IAD Ranch Properties |
We own and manage our private forests in western Washington. Many of our timberlands have been in the family well over 100 years. The main product produced on our properties is douglas fir timber which is a high quality industrial wood for home building and heavy construction use. It is also highly exported into Asian markets. Other lesser volume products consist of western red cedar, red alder, western hemlock and big leaf maple. We pride ourselves on the use of good management practices. Management plans include proper thinning, sound harvest practices, replanting for sustained yield and attention to environmental standards. We also work hard to maintain wildlife habitat for local species. All these photos were taken on our family owned forest lands. |
