High Desert Lumber LLC

High Desert Lumber LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and partnership or limited liability partnership registered in SAM.gov, operating primarily in the forest products and ecosystem restoration sector. Based in Alturas, California, the company specializes in wood processing, specifically focused on lumber and wood dowel manufacturing. The company has been actively engaged with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, particularly in the Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region, to support forest restoration and wood products infrastructure initiatives.

High Desert Lumber LLC has secured multiple federal grant awards through the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act Financial Assistance to Facilities that Purchase and Process Byproducts for Ecosystem Restoration program (CFDA 10.725). These grants, totaling approximately $1.8 million, have supported critical projects including the expansion and upgrade of their wood dowel mill and the restart of their lumber sawmill. The grants aim to enhance the company's capacity to purchase and process byproducts from forest restoration activities on federal and Tribal lands, with project periods ranging from August 2023 to June 2026. The funding enables High Desert Lumber to reduce ecosystem restoration project costs by developing infrastructure that can effectively utilize forest byproducts, thereby contributing to sustainable forest management and local economic development in the Pacific Southwest region.
