Good Timing led this Montana trucker back into logging!🙌

Adam Bishop owned a truck and contracted to haul timber for loggers. In a slow market one of his customers mentioned that he wanted to sell his business and asked Bishop if he’d be interested in buying it. The sale included three pieces of equipment and two contracts. Bishop said yes and started Adam Bishop Logging a year ago.

When Bishop talked to TimberWest, the crew was working on a 150-acre tract about 35 miles from Kalispell. They were selectively harvesting a mix of species over flat ground, producing 900-1,000 tons a week. About 80 percent of the wood was saw logs and the other 20 percent pulp.

Bishop likes the production efficiency and durability of the John Deere 748L-II skidder. “It’s got lots of power. It can move a lot of wood. It’s been very reliable and durable, and it’s comfortable to run.”

A new Arizona mill starts up operations that efficiently utilizes fiber from the world’s largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest🌲⁠
⁠
The Restoration Forest Products mill will aid the Four Forest Restoration Initiative of the U.S. Forest Service, a landscape-scale effort to restore four national forests spanning 2.4 million acres.⁠
⁠
Bellemont is located in north-central Arizona, about 13 miles west of Flagstaff. The mill – real estate and mill equipment – represents a capital investment in excess of $300 million. The company had developed a temporary mill before committing to one site and pooling resources to equip one facility for all its sawmill and remanufacturing operations.⁠

In 2022 a group of 21 scientists, loggers, conservationists, and tribal and government representatives was convened for one simple task: decide the future of Northwest forests.

The 1994 Northwest Forest Plan was supposed to dictate how 24 million acres of federal forests were managed for the next century. Thirty years in, the plan has failed to meet most of its objectives. Even though timber harvest has been reduced, endangered species that depend on old-growth are still declining. Wildfires scorch the land. And many rural communities near federal forests are struggling to survive.

With the future of Northwest forests in jeopardy, the U.S. Forest Service decided to overhaul the plan, and the agency tasked the 21-member Northwest Forest Plan Advisory Committee to agree on recommendations for an amendment.

A unique partnership between Washington’s Makah Tribe and the Composite Recycle Technology Center (CRTC) is boosting the economic vitality of the community by manufacturing dimensional lumber that is being used to produce a specialty wood product – and homes for members of the tribe.

The small mill is owned and operated by the Makah Tribe, which also owns the surrounding timberland on its nearly 47-square-mile reservation. The mill is located in Neah Bay, which is almost at the northernmost tip of the Olympic Peninsula.

The mill began operating in January of this year and cuts mainly coastal western hemlock logs sourced from tribal lands. The tribe contracts out timber harvesting and trucking to a few logging companies.

Thompson Land Management provides fire-related forestry services, fire prevention and burn restoration projects.

Seventy-five percent of his company’s work is fire prevention and 25 percent is burn restoration, according to company owner Isiah Thompson, who started the business in 2019.

Thompson Land Management has seven to 10 employees, depending on the season. The company usually is performing about three jobs at the same time, with one crew on each project with two to four machines. Thompson also typically subcontracts one to five other machines – grapple-piling material or performing mastication – depending on the season and how much work he has.

They specialize in all types of forestry mastication, including right-of-way vegetation removal, roadway clearing, fuel breaks, and habitat restoration work.

Dave Howell has a vision for his semi-retirement. His vision is for assembling tracts of land to establish a working ranch, and managing and improving the timber land on the ranch to grow healthy forests and create beneficial wildlife habitat.

It’s an undertaking that involves some small-scale logging operations, and he’s been able to see his vision come to fruition with the aid of Tajfun equipment. Howell put the Tajfun equipment to work on his ranch, and his ranch crew also does small-scale logging work for neighbors.

Tajfun, a European manufacturer with a U.S. affiliate headquartered in Blaine, Washington, makes small-scale logging equipment primarily designed to work with farm tractor PTO. Howell has several pieces of Tajfun equipment: a self-loading forestry trailer, a log skidding winch, and a firewood processor. The trailer and winch are powered by a tractor while the firewood processor is a stand-alone machine powered by a gasoline engine.

The new Roseburg mill, which began operating as Roanoke Valley Lumber in February, currently is producing about 2.5 million board feet per week.

At the time of the visit by TimberWest, it was ramping up a second shift that was expected to bring production to 5 million board feet. A third shift, envisioned operating in late 2025 or early 2026, would push production to 6 million board feet. The mill operates Monday-Thursday and is shut down Friday and the weekend for maintenance.

The mill employs about 140 workers and will require about 20-30 more workers when the third shift is added. Read more in the new issue of TimberWest Magazine👉️ https://forestnet.com/new-roseburg-sawmill-ramps-up/

30 years later, the Northwest Forest Plan has failed to recover owl populations.🦉

Forestry industry advocates are not happy about sacrificing timber land when logging is no longer the owl’s primary threat. Over the past 30 years, timber harvests on federal land have fallen 80 percent while wildfires have burned four times as many trees.

Armstrong Contract Cutting works in some of the toughest terrain in Oregon. They wanted a better way to safely tether their felling equipment and the solution came in the form of the TimberMAX traction winch.

The Armstrongs provide felling services to larger logging outfits such as Timber Harvesting Inc. and McCollum Logging, both based in Sweet Home. Those contractors specialize in yarder logging, which often requires equipment capable of handling steep, challenging terrain. TimberMax equipment now plays a critical role in their operations.

Idaho Rancher Dave Howell is restoring the land and the forest on his working ranch located near Moscow, Idaho.

At the time he talked with TimberWest, his crew was working on a job to harvest 70-80 trees that were killed by pine beetle infestation.
