Roseburg Forest Products owns and manages over 600,000 acres of timberlands in Southern Oregon and Northern California. They produce four major product groups :plywood (both softwood and hardwood), lumber, engineered wood products, and composite panels. A primary objective of the company has been to be a conscientious steward of the environment while providing quality wood products to the market place.
