About Freres Wood

This family owned and operated business started with one man and a dream back in 1922. And it’s kept going to this day by always looking at things in a new way.

From the expansion of plywood after World War II to today’s revolutionary Mass Ply, even how we grow and harvest our wood, we’ve never been one to sit still with the status quo. You’ll always find us pushing forward for what we’re confident will be the next 100 years.

👉 Scientists. Naturalists. Loggers. We’re proof they can all happily co-exist. We were born and raised among the trees. So we do everything we can to protect them. Following the Oregon Forest Practices Act we use scientifically- supported methods to sustainably harvest and replant the Douglas Fir trees on our 17,000 acres of timberland. And we respect our natural resources using every part of the wood from lumber, to veneer, to fuel. The result is a certification by the American Tree Farm System (ATFS).

Our companies include Freres Lumber Co., Inc, Freres Timber, and Evergreen BioPower LLC. Freres Lumber has two manufacturing locations in the Santiam Canyon.

Freres Timber owns and operates over 17,000 acres of timberland, primarily located in the Santiam Canyon. Harvesting is performed on a sustained yield basis, and is managed to provide high quality timber for current and future generations.
