Mendocino and Humboldt Redwood Forestry

09/08/2026

Our foresters Matthew Gilbert and Cameron Kyle spent Sunday at the Forestry Expo during Paul Bunyan Days!

This annual event is a great celebration of Mendocino County’s timber industry, bringing together forestry professionals, families, and community members. This event is a great way for us to connect with our community, and celebrate the people and traditions that make forestry such an important part of our region.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, we’re already looking forward to next year!

Summer vacation is nearing an end, but there's still plenty of sunshine and days left to venture out. If you're in the Humboldt County area, come stop by Scotia, CA, and check out our Humboldt Redwood Fisheries Exhibit.

We recently upgraded the exhibit with a brand new footbridge built by Doug Hess!

The exhibit includes six tanks, where you can see fish species such as Chinook salmon and steelhead trout while learning about the work we do in our forestlands. Visit our website below to learn more, or call (707) 601-5546 for more information or to schedule a guided tour.

We're excited to bring back our series, where we shine a light on the people who help make our company what it is.

To kick it off, we want to introduce you all to Annetta Sheean, who has been with our company for 26 years!

As our Home Depot Field Representative, Annetta works with 100+ Home Depot stores across California in her territory, making sure our redwood, Douglas-fir, and preservative-treated products are stocked, organized, and looking their best. She also works closely with store associates, helps with product knowledge, and supports the rollout of new products.

If you've worked with Annetta, you've probably seen her dedication firsthand. Her coworkers describe her as hardworking, dependable, and a true powerhouse. She continually goes above and beyond every day and has been instrumental in pushing through new SKU’s as needed into the stores in her market. Over the years, she's also built strong relationships with Home Depot store managers and regional leaders, helping ensure our customers receive the best products and service possible.

Over the past 26 years, Annetta has made a lasting impact on both our team and the stores she supports.

When she's not working, Annetta enjoys spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, weekend getaways to Tahoe City, and working in the yard.

Thank you, Annetta, for everything you do. We're lucky to have you as part of the team!

In an effort to help predict the next earthquake in our area, Humboldt Redwood Company worked closely with the California Geological Survey, U.S. Geological Survey, and Cal Poly Humboldt to identify the existence of a fault line on the company’s property. The process to identify the fault will be published in a scientific report within the year.
