Day In The Woods

Every year, Stimson gives local high school students a "day in the woods" to practice their wildland fire-fighting skills. Banks and Liberty High School students get hands-on experience with fire trails, deploying shelters, and mopping up real wildfires.

Wildfire Preparation Training

Stimson Lumber attended the inaugural Wildfire Ready 2024 training at Haag Lake near the Gaston, Oregon mill. This event equipped local landowners in the Wildfire Urban Interface with crucial tips and strategies to prepare for potential wildfires in their communities.

Dream Hunt

Stimson has partnered with the Outdoor Dream Foundation for over 17 years to host a “dream hunt” outdoor adventure for kids with terminal or life-threatening illnesses. Drew Jones thanks Stimson and his family for making his dream a reality in the summer of 2022 in Oregon.

Pioneer Courthouse Christmas Tree

Since 2001, Stimson Lumber has donated a towering Christmas tree to Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. Our foresters pick the perfect tree from local timberlands, load it onto a massive flatbed, and deliver it to downtown Portland for the community to enjoy during the holiday.

Home Depot Foundation

Stimson employees have volunteered for several years to support the annual Home Depot Foundation volunteer efforts. In 2018, employees helped build 20 custom children’s playhouses for the San Diego Habitat for Humanity Playhouse Program in El Cajon, California. This program supports the children of veteran families throughout San Diego County.

Recreational Access

Stimson is one of the last private land owners to open its timberlands at certain times of the year for hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities.
