The Dixie fire salvage has flooded the northern california timber market with logs... to the point our firm could not sell burned timber from our clients lands. Even the large companies cannot sell wood as Sierra Pacific owns virtually all of the sawmills and they are flooded with their own wood, so Sierra Pacific is not buying logs from outside sources.
There is no shortage of logs, there is a shortage of sawmills.
Yes, the only sawmill not owned by Sierra is Shasta Green in Burney. They are for sale, but the owner does not want to sell out to Sierra Pacific because they will just shut them down. They already have a mill in Burney. Right next door.
