Private working forests support rural prosperity. They also support 3.9 million jobs and
provide $284 billion in wages across rural America. These forests help sustain the communities that
depend on them. At Sierra Pacific, we are proud of our rural roots and our 6,800+ crew members that call these communities home.

Sierra Pacific joined The California Forest Foundation, CAL FIRE and our industry partners to bring state legislators in Chester for a two-day tour focused on the impacts of the Dixie Fire and the work underway to restore forest health.

Along the way, we highlighted how active forest management—like fuel breaks, prescribed fire, thinning, reforestation, and investments in mills and biomass—helps reduce wildfire risk and support resilient, working forests.

Visits like this matter. Seeing these efforts firsthand helps policymakers better understand how sustainable forestry protects our forests, supports rural communities, and helps reduce the risk of future wildfires.

It starts with a seedling, but the impact lasts for decades. More than 1 billion seedlings are planted across the U.S. every year, investing in the next generation of forests through a continuous cycle of planting, growth, harvesting, and replanting.
At SPI, we planted over 10 million seedlings across our forestlands in 2025. It’s good for forests, the environment, and the communities that depend on both.

At Sierra Pacific, our success is driven by the dedication and hard work of our incredible crew members. Every quarter, we feature a Spotlight on Success story in our company newsletter. This feature highlights those with exceptional character and who consistently go above and beyond.
This fall marks 25 years for Joseph Cheney at Sierra Pacific’s Anderson Division.
Starting as a laborer in the Planer Department, Joseph worked his way up through determination and continuous learning—becoming a certified lumber grader and now serving as Planer Production Supervisor, leading a crew.
“My focus is keeping the crew safe, motivated, and meeting our quality and production standards,” he shared.
Joseph’s journey is a reflection of hard work, growth, and investing in yourself. We’re proud to recognize Joseph as this quarter’s Spotlight on Success.
