Sierra Forest Products

We had a rare opportunity for a tour of the facilities (for a college Forestry class) and it is definitely insightful. I have a new appreciation for the work that is done to produce a wood 2x4 that you buy at Home Depot. There is so much work that goes into the process and every log is carefully analyzed to get the most out of it with minimal waste. (Sorry some of the pictures are blurry, we were on the go and didn't have time to play photographer... )

Loading was until 1pm, arrived at 12:45. They said we won’t load it today, we will load it tomorrow from 7:00 am. loading began at 7:00 am, there was an overload of 80880p. Came back, reloaded, reloaded 80100p again. They reloaded it again for the third time... It took 3 hours to load it all. Initially, according to the documents, it was 42,000. in fact 48000p

Great tour and info. We need to get these forests managed expertly, and knowledgeably thinned to safe levels of timber.

Awesome place! Seems like a cool place to work at. Went here as part of a tour with my class at Bakersfield College.

We got a tour and found it to be a very worthwhile experience.

They produce 0 waste

Very educational
