The Opportunity
The 11,397± acre Rock Creek Tree Farm has a significant inventory
of pre-merchantable, well-stocked timber stands of 21± to 35± year
old Douglas fir and a strategic location within one of the Pacific
Northwest's most competitive log markets. These pre-merchantable
stands of 8,397± acres have a projected annual growth rate approaching
15% and are expected to add over 300 million board feet of merchantable
volume in the next 20± years, with potential harvest volume of 170±
million board feet.
Within a short haul distance of Rock Creek Tree Farm are a total
of 20 wood product plants that generate an estimated 25% of western
Oregon's sawmill production and have an annual log consumption of
over 650± million board feet. The nearby mills stretch along the
I-5 corridor and are operated by Weyerhaeuser, Roseburg Forest Products,
Swanson Group, DR Johnson Lumber Company, Douglas County Forest
Products, The Murphy Company, C & D Lumber Company, and additional
private companies, providing a stable and competitive market for
Rock Creek Tree Farm. It has been estimated that currently, up to
20% of the annual log inventory required by these mills is not available
from nearby private and public lands and must be “imported”
from northwest Oregon, southwest Washington and southern Oregon
by both rail and truck. |
