Jefferson State is committed to the production of quality wood products from responsibly managed forests. Our products reflect the design prowess of our master craftsman Greg Wilson, who has been building furniture for more than 35 years.
Jefferson State uses mainly western hardwoods in our retail fixtures. These include Certified Cherry, Oregon White Oak, Tan Oak, Big Leaf Maple, Myrtlewood, Claro Black Walnut, and Pacific Madrone . We are committed to purchasing our raw material, whenever possible, from small independent sawmills who produce lower volumes of lumber harvested from private lands. We believe that the new forest management ethic that recognizes bio-diversity and overall stewardship responsibility for the forest is more easily achieved by rural land managers and small producers. Material purchased from these sources supports their continued success in responsible forest management as well as supporting the rural communities in which they live.
We are actively involved in several organizations that promote socially responsible use of our natural resources. We are a partner in the Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Partnership. Sustainable Northwest is co-founder, along with The Watershed Research and Training Center, of The Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Partnership. If you would like to learn more, please see below.
