Shaping a Sustainable Future with Responsible Forestry
Biewer Forest Management, a part of the Biewer Lumber family of companies, began in 1983 with our first sawmill in McBain, Michigan. We work with woodland owners to help them achieve their forest management goals. All landowners have unique and diverse goals for their property. Whether it is wildlife management, timber production, or recreation, Biewer has a team of qualified Foresters with over 65 years of combined experience to assist landowners in achieving their best forest.
Biewer provides complete management services including writing land owners individual management plans, timber marking, identifying cutting boundaries, and managing the entire process from sale set-up to the harvesting of timber. Biewer’s foresters participate in many forestry, landowner, and industry groups and associations so we can stay up to date on the changing landscape of forestry practices and governance.
Our “From Forest to Framework™” approach ensures that every tree we harvest contributes to a healthier ecosystem-selectively thinning forests to improve growth, resilience, and biodiversity. As part of Biewer’s commitment to sustainable forestry, we require that log suppliers complete core education programs that include training in water quality, wildlife management, forest silviculture practices, equipment maintenance, soil conservation, and harvesting techniques.
Forests are more than just resources—they’re ecosystems that deserve respect.
- Use selective harvesting to strengthen remaining trees and promote natural regeneration.
- Train our logging crews in Best Management Practices to protect soil, water, and wildlife.
- Repurpose every part of the tree—bark powers our sawmills or becomes landscape mulch, minimizing waste.
By choosing Biewer, you’re not just managing your forest—you’re investing in its future.
We work with you, not just for you. Whether you’re a private landowner, a family with generational property, or a business managing large tracts, we listen to your goals and customize our services to meet them. Learn more about our Landowner program here.
