About Alpenglow Timber
Alpenglow Timber is a locally-owned and operated wood products and processing facility. This small-scale, modern and environmentally mindful sawmill business is designed to serve the North Tahoe and Truckee region by recirculating the woody debris and logs being removed from area forests through thinning and forest management operations, an imperative step toward wildfire mitigation and a more sustainable local economy. We are currently in the development phase.
Our goals:
- Provide a long-term, sustainable solution to help local agencies in their forest restoration and wildfire mitigation efforts
- Find ways to use small diameter, low-grade logs from fuels reduction projects
- Reduce forest fuels by creating a more resilient forest ecosystem to better withstand drought and climate change
- Sequester carbon
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from distant transportation of logs from local forest thinning projects
- Enhance the local economy through job development and employee housing, recirculating local timber onto the open market for use regionally and beyond, and through cost savings to local agencies by creating a closer, more meaningful fuels outlet
