Rooted in Tradition, Growing for Tomorrow

Founded in 1985 by Cedric Humes Sr., our company began with a simple mission: harvest timber responsibly while nurturing the forests that sustain us.

Three generations later, that mission remains at our core. We've grown from a small family operation into a leading regional forestry company, but our values haven't changed. Every tree we harvest is part of a sustainable cycle—we plant three for every one we take.

  • FSC & SFI Certified Operations
  • Third-Generation Family Ownership
