We specialize in creating the highest quality products across the wood products spectrum from raw log to finished products, including: hog fuel, bark fines, chips, shavings, specialty veneer, grade lumber, high-quality sheathing grade plywood, electricity, and our patented Mass Ply Panels. Our family-owned and operated companies include Freres Lumber Co., Inc, Freres Timber, and Evergreen BioPower LLC.
Freres Lumber Co., Inc was established in 1922 when T.G. Freres was approached by a banker and asked to take over a financially troubled sawmill in the North Santiam Canyon. The Company operated around the North Fork of the Santiam River until the mid-1940's. Lumber planing and loading facilities were constructed in Lyons, Oregon in 1941 where the Company is currently headquartered.
Freres' commitment to sustainability starts in the forest. We support a robust Oregon Forest Practices Act which uses the latest silvicultural science to inform and direct forest management activities protecting our environment and wildlife.
Stakeholders can be assured of this commitment, as Freres is also certified by the American Tree Farm System (ATFS), a third party accredited certification body that provides forest certification to give consumers peace of mind that the products they purchase originate from sustainably managed forests that protect economic, social and environmental benefits.This ATFS certification means we stand among the best woodland stewards in America.
