Zena Forest
The Zena Forest is the largest contiguous block of forest in the inner Willamette Valley, and has been managed by the Deumling family since 1987 with a focus on maintaining a healthy and diverse forest ecosystem. It is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and is protected by a conservation easement as working forest in perpetuity. The forest, which is only a few miles from downtown Salem is home to a number of threatened and endangered species, as well as the beginnings of three watersheds.
Operating in conjunction with the forest is Zena Forest Products, a family owned sawmill. Our sawmill turns logs into high quality wood products and demonstrates our commitment to economic and ecological resiliency and a robust local economy. We sustainably harvest our Oregon White Oak, Western Bigleaf Maple and other native hardwoods to manufacture durable solid hardwood flooring, and high-grade lumber for furniture and cabinetmakers. The sawmill is a crucial part of our forestry operation, and allows us to find the highest and best use for all of the wood products the Zena Forest has to offer.
