Timber
Working forests are the foundation of every Alliance Global landholding: a renewable asset that is harvested, replanted and grown again on rotations measured in decades.
Sustained-yield forestry
We plan harvests so that, over time, the forest grows at least as much wood as is removed. That keeps the land productive, keeps mills supplied at a steady pace, and lets the value of the standing timber build year after year.
Every harvest unit is replanted or regenerated, and young stands are tended so the next rotation is healthy and well stocked.
Supplying regional mills
The Pacific Northwest has one of the deepest timber industries in the country, and Oregon is the top producer of softwood lumber among U.S. states, according to the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (opens in a new tab).
Long-term supply agreements with nearby mills turn standing timber into dependable revenue for the land and keep processing jobs in the region.
Roads, water and access
Forest roads act as the lifeline of a working forest. We maintain them to support timber harvests and emergency fire access, while designing drainage systems and stream crossings to keep sediment out of the water.
Fire and forest health
Dry pine forests east of the Cascades evolved with frequent, low-intensity fire. Thinning, fuel reduction and careful harvest planning lower the risk of severe wildfire and keep these forests healthy.
From stump to mill
Harvest, decking, hauling and delivery are carried out by experienced regional contractors under our plans, with log sorts matched to what each mill buys.
Beyond the log
A working forest can also carry conservation easements, carbon programs and renewable energy leases. We weigh each one against the long-term plan for the land before taking it on.
Have timberland to discuss?
We are interested in large, contiguous timberland in Oregon and Washington, and in mills seeking long-term supply.
