Selling Timber in Douglas County, NV

Tahoe Forest Products is a sawmill based in Carson City, Nevada, built to mill logs cut in the Sierra Nevada and the Tahoe basin. It is a new company, and by its own account it isn't a logging outfit: "We are not a logging enterprise, but we provide loggers a necessary site to which they can deliver both green thinnings and salvaged timber." So if you own land in Douglas County, the usual path would be through a logger who fells your timber and hauls it here, rather than you selling standing timber straight to the mill. The mill is set up to handle pine, fir and cedar, including small logs down to six-inch small-end diameters from thinning work, alongside larger fire-salvage logs. It turns that wood into dimension lumber for construction, fence posts and rails, cedar siding, pallet lumber, and factory lumber for windows, doors and trim. The site is leased from the Washoe Development Corporation, an affiliate of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada & California, and is described as the first significant sawmill built in the Sierra Nevada in several decades. This fits a landowner in or near Douglas County whose logger already has a job lined up and just needs a nearby mill to take the logs, more than it fits someone still looking for help selling standing timber or getting advice on what to cut.
