At the Sacramento Tree Foundation, we steward the urban forest from seed to slab — as in slab of lumber. By milling and drying logs from Sacramento's fallen trees, we extend the beauty, carbon sequestration, and legacy of our urban forest.

Come visit our lumber yard to find local, sustainable, one-of-a-kind live-edge slabs and dimensional lumber for your home, business, and artistic projects. All sales support the stewardship and educational efforts of the Tree Foundation.
