WELCOME TO GREEN DIAMOND

Setting the Standard in Working Forests™

Green Diamond Resource Company traces its roots back more than a century to a small logging company founded in Washington state. Since that time our company has grown to include forests in Washington and California and lumber produced in California for homes and decking; however, the company is still privately held, with the same long-term commitment to environmental stewardship. That commitment is at the heart of every decision we make. It's reflected in our sustainable forestry practices and in the many innovative, voluntary forest and wildlife enhancement programs employed in our forests. We are proud to say that all of Green Diamond's forestlands and lumber producing facilities have been independently certified as meeting the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® Standard. For a comparison of the Sustainable Forest Initiative® and Forest Stewardship Council Certification Programs, see this link.

Green Diamond Resource Company was the first private company to negotiate with the government to secure a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Northern Spotted Owl covering our forests in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties in Northern California. In 1999, we negotiated a multi-species HCP for our lands in Washington. And, in June of 2007, we signed an Aquatic HCP/Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances that will conserve habitat and help protect seven aquatic species in our California forests: Coho salmon, steelhead, Chinook salmon, coastal cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, the southern torrent salamander and the tailed frog.
