Home > About Us

Sierra Pacific Industries is a third-generation family-owned forest products company based in Anderson, California.  The firm owns and manages nearly 1.9 million acres of timberland in California and Washington, and is the second largest lumber producer in the United States. Sierra Pacific Industries is committed to managing its lands in a responsible and sustainable manner to protect the environment while providing quality wood products and renewable power for consumers.  To SPI, sustainable forest management means more than planting trees.

Harvesting trees is much different than it was 50 or 100 years ago – today we employ modern forest management practices that closely mimic natural forest events. Technology has dramatically improved, and with it, our ability to monitor forest conditions and lessen our overall impact on the environment. We have invested in state-of-the-art equipment to optimize every fiber of every tree, and we are a certified participant in the independent Sustainable Forestry Initiative to help ensure our forests are here for generations to come. The expertise of our professional foresters and natural resource specialists guarantees that wildlife habitat, water quality, and other forest values are protected.

At Sierra Pacific Industries, our dedicated team members produce quality wood products using the most sophisticated equipment and machinery. This basic understanding represents Sierra Pacific's philosophy toward its valued crew members. During the course of Sierra Pacific's growth and development, efforts have been made to assure an atmosphere of fair treatment and appreciation for all employees. Some of our continuing programs include: appropriate compensation and benefit levels for crew members and their dependents; development of supervisors sensitive to the needs and concerns of today's crew members; and career advancement opportunities for all employees through a desire to promote from within the company whenever possible. Through a full commitment to this philosophy, SPI continues to be an organization where its crew members are proud to work and others strive to become part of the team.
