Big Creek Sells First "Well-Managed" Redwood Lumber

The world’s first independently certified, “well-managed” redwood lumber is now available from the Big Creek Lumber Company of Davenport, California in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Big Creek sells redwood, Monterrey pine, and Douglas fir from its 6,800 acres (2,750 ha) of forestland. The Scientific Certification Systems evaluation team called Big Creek’s redwood forest management “an example of superior forest stewardship,” noting that the company’s management philosophy places riparian and aquatic concerns above timber harvesting. Contact Janet Webb, Big Creek Sales Director, at 408/457-5023.
