Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at Century Forest Management!
Finally a little break in the rain this week! Thanks to our shovel operator Wyatt for this shot from this morning!
If you need help managing your small woodland property, reach out to Century Forest Management today!
Anyone else working in the snow this week? This weather pattern has been a little bit on the country and western side!
Century Forest Management would like to thank our truck boss Matt for these photos of him and Kenny Damon Trucking LLC getting it done yesterday up in the high country.
Worked through another Friday here at Century Forest Management.
What’s everyone doing this weekend?
We will be dreaming of sunny shovel logging days and mud free mainlines. In the spirit of summer, here’s a shot of Ethan processing some logs on a bluebird day!
Ethan processing some trees into logs so they can be sent to town.
Setting up the landing so the processor operator can work, and deck the different sorts efficiently is one of the ways we can maximize productivity for our customers.
Some days it’s like pick up sticks, but they all need to be sorted by species, diameter, grade and length and shipped to town.
If you need help managing your timber land, reach out to Century Forest Managenent today!
In our last post we showed how well the Barko can do when in a clear cut application.
This machine is so versatile for our business because it can do both thinning and clear cut work for our operation.
Here is a photo of the Barko last summer picking away at a selective harvest thinning!
Some job sites have better wet weather soils than others. It’s a little wet on our thinning job right now, but the Barko still has the strength and versatility to cut for our clear cut side. #logging #barko #jpskidmore #thinning #sustainableforestry #timbermanagement #contractor #timberharvest #localexpert #localbusiness

Anyone else working in the rain today?
We got moved into another job late last week, getting us off the dirt access roads just in time for the rain.
Thanks to our shovel operator Wyatt for these photos of the team moving wood on the new unit.
Have questions about how we can help you manage your timber? Reach out to Century Forest Managenent today.
Just wrapped up with this job.
The timber on this property was badly damaged by the ice storms last winter.
We had a few options but starting over made the most sense for this stand and the land owner.
The timber was cut, logged and sold to a handful of mills across the region. After logging, the brush was piled and this piece will be replanted.
Sometimes this isn’t the best option to manage your timber, and we can help with that too.
Reach out to Century Forest Management today to see how we can help you manage YOUR timber.
Maintenance day last week at Century Forest Management.
A good preventative maintenance schedule helps us keep our equipment running when we need it the most.
It also allows us to plan when to make repairs, like this crack in our heel rack. Once we saw it was cracked, we made one phone call to @precisionmaint and had a tech scheduled to come help us out. Thanks Brett for getting it welded up for us!
An overview shot of one of our recent jobs down by Creswell.
This site was heavily damaged by the ice storm, with some of the standing trees being split down almost to the ground.
We utilized our expertise in the industry to ship logs from this job to five different mills. Why? To maximize the return for the land owner.
The market wasn’t perfect for this stand, but they will have trees growing here again soon that won’t be dangerous to walk through and enjoy.
If you have questions about your property and how we can help, reach out to Century Forest Management today.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Here’s a shot of Wyatt swinging some logs in the early morning earlier this summer.
Century Forest Management is your one stop partner in managing your timberlands.

Another angle of Nichole in truck No. 2 getting a load from Wyatt on a job south of Eugene.
The timber on this property had been severely damaged by last winter’s ice storm. With all things considered, this client decided to harvest what was there and get seedlings in the ground to get their land back into production.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the industry, you might not know that each different deck of logs here is a different sort, and likely has a different destination than the one next to it.
Each mill requires different raw materials to produce their finished products. These are sorted by species, grade, diameter and length of the log.
Century Forest Management takes pride in being able to maximize the return on our customers timber. By merchandising the logs to fit different needs in the market, it brings a higher value to the logs.
On this job we are shipping logs to five different saw mills and one pulp mill.

Everyone seemed to like the video of our Cat/ Waratah combo, so here’s a video of our Barko with a JP Skidmore harvester head. We searched high and low for a machine that could efficiently handle the smaller diameter logs in a thinning, but still be able to fill in cutting larger stems in a clearcut setting. Our equipment is purpose built to help us maximize our efficiency so we can get the most out of our customers timber. Reach out to Century Forest Management today to see how we can help you manage your small woodland property.
Everyone seems to love Matt’s truck so here’s a shot of him getting ready for another load from Wyatt.

No background music today for this processor ASMR. Those of you who have been around the industry know these sounds well. Those of you who don’t, this is what it sounds like processing a cut tree into merchantable logs.
It’s shaping up to be another productive week here at Century Forest Management.

After the unit is cut, if it’s flat enough to shovel log, all of the trees get moved into bigger bundles. These bundles are then worked to the landing by the shovel.
In this shot you can see the processor working up a small piece above the road. In this industry, teamwork makes the dream work.
Thanks to our shovel operator Wyatt for the photo!
Backed into the shovel for a mid day load.
I want to ask our followers to post what you do for a living in the comments. Only if you want to, of course.
How many of you are in the timber industry?
Processor POV
Ethan sent these over showing what the landing looks like from the processor operators point of view.
The processor operator is responsible for merchandising the trees into logs before they’re loaded on a truck.
When the landowner tells you to watch out for the local bear, they’re actually serious sometimes!
Reach out today to see how Century Forest Management can help you get your property shaped up to fit your needs. If you’re looking for fire resiliency, commercial thinning, or you’re ready to harvest your stand, no two private timberlands are the same.
You may need a combination of the three or an entirely different management plan. Century Forest Management is here to help.
Some spots are just more photogenic than others!
This time of year, during fire season, we work the early shift. We have to start early to take advantage of low temperatures and (generally speaking) higher relative humidities.
Working these hours helps reduce the risk of an operations caused fire. We also have to stick around after work is complete for up to three hours, depending on the Industrial Fire Precaution Level, IFPL, to watch for smoke in the area.
Can you tell we’re into sunrise photos? Thanks to one of our operators Wyatt for the awesome photo!

We spent the day Friday with the Oregon Small Woodlands Association. We toured Jim and Ed Merzenich’s property who were selected as the Oregon Small Woodland Association tree farmer of the year. We did a thinning project for them back in November and December and part of the tour was the work we had done for them.

Our thinning side is getting a break from little trees on this job!

We’re back up in the high country again since the snow is finally gone. It’s hard to beat these office views.
Another nice load getting ready to leave one of our jobs. Have a great weekend everyone!
Can you name this piece of equipment?
Depending on fire danger levels, sometimes we have to work our shifts in the early morning hours. Late night/ early morning is when the risk of starting a fire is much lower, due to lower temperatures and higher humidities.
We take pride in keeping our clients properties in good shape throughout the harvest process.
If you have questions on how to best manage your small woodland property, reach out to Century Forest Managenent today.
Commercial thinning is a great way to increase crown separation in your stand and help mitigate fire danger on your property by reducing fuel load per acre.
It’s not too late to reach out to Century Forest Management to see how we can help you manage your timberland property.
Happy Friday everyone!
Century Forest Management will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.

Thinning is a great way to improve the health of your timber.
If you’re wondering if your stand can benefit from a commercial thinning operation, reach out to Century Forest Management today!
We have a lot of great partnerships in the industry. We often call on trucks outside of Century Forest Management to haul our customer’s logs to the mill. Here’s a video of a Nelson Bros truck hauling some poles for us!
Ever wondered what it’s like to operate a Barko 240B? Here’s an in cab view of ours on a thinning job for a customer earlier this spring.

Spring time weather is great for shovel logging. It’s also a great time to assess your timber property for any damages from this winter and fire safety for the upcoming summer.

Processor ASMR for this fine Wednesday. It’s starting to feel like spring time here in Western Oregon!
Sometimes we’re way back in the hills, other times we’re literally in a clients front or back yard with our heavy machinery.

You just can’t beat the beauty of western Oregon! Share your favorite sunrise photo with us in the comments.
The weather lately has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for our shovel side.
While shovel logging flat ground has a low impact to the soil, we still don’t push the limits in winter or spring.
If we’re harvesting your property and you don’t see us working on a Tuesday, it’s probably just too wet and we have decided to let the property dry out a bit.
Thanks Ethan for the POV shot from your processor!
When we harvest a clients timber we always maximize the value of their stand. Often times the pole market can bring the best value for the right logs.
Not every log meets the requirements to be manufactured into poles, but we have the expertise to bring you the best possible return on your timber.
Thanks to our driver Matt for this photo of some 82 foot poles on his truck.
Last load of the week!
Century Forest Management operates a small fleet of trucks to help bring you the best value for your timber.
Garren running our Barko processing some trees that were thinned on a small private forest.
Knowing which stems to selectively harvest is just as important as knowing how to properly merchandise the wood that’s cut.
We do what it takes to maximize the merchantable value of your timber, and take great care of your small timberlands.
Thinning your stand of timber can improve the health of your stand and help add fire resilience to your property.
Selectively removing certain stems to release the dominant trees allows them to grow freely with less competition for sun and water.
Century Forest Management can help you manage your timber, even when it’s not time to harvest.
Another beautiful morning in western Oregon! What’s everyone doing today?
Century Forest Management is currently looking for Harvester operator on our commercial thinning side.
Pay range: $27- 32/hr depending on experience.
Benefits: Paid medical insurance for employee, PTO and paid holidays.
We have a lot of work and we are continuing to grow. Message us for information.
We’re constantly investing in new technology to help better serve our customers. Meet the Barko 240B. This harvester allows us to selectively pick which stems need harvesting on thinnings, while still having the power to work in clear cuts and bigger timber.
