MANAGING Resources

“Becoming a professional forester has allowed me to not only enjoy but to also earn a living from the forest. At AWP, our entire staff of professional foresters take very seriously the responsibility of managing our forests to meet our present needs while also enhancing and insuring the opportunity for future generations to live, work and enjoy our most renewable resource.”

» Kelly Riddle
Vice President of Forest Resources

AWP has assembled a team of 25 professional foresters with over 300 years of collective experience. The AWP forestry team procures timber and logs, and manages company as well as private lands for multiple use, including the management of non timber resources.

Currently AWP has a timber base made up of 63,000 acres (25,495 hectares) of company-owned land and an additional 400,000 acres (161,878 hectares) in long term wood supply agreements with small private landowners, large corporate landowners, and also public lands.

Land Management – Soil, air, and water quality, plant and animal diversity, sustainable high quality timber, recreation, and aesthetics are all part of Allegheny Wood Product’s land management philosophy.

 
  SOUND Forestry Practices

Procurement - AWP Foresters purchase approximately 126 million board feet of timber and logs annually. Approximately 90% of the timber and log purchases are for processing at AWP sawmills. The remaining 10% are marketed as veneer logs, peeler logs, export saw logs, and low grade saw logs.

AWP has wood procurement offices in 6 locations focused on purchasing standing timber, saw logs, veneer logs, and timberlands.

Log Sales – Whether for export or domestic use, AWP sells veneer logs, peeler logs, and saw logs in all the Appalachian species. The combination of fine Appalachian timber and well managed log yards insure log buyers a fresh high quality product.

Logs are sold from all 5 AWP sawmill locations and the Stephens City log yard. Customer specifications for length, diameter, grain, texture, and color are considerations in matching customers with available logs.
