Zena Forest Products, a multigenerational family business nestled in the Eola Hills of Oregon, is at the forefront of the movement to save, restore and steward the region’s most precious natural resources. As the largest contiguous block of forest in the Willamette Valley, our property consists of native Woodland ecosystems; the headwaters of Rickreall, Yamhill and Spring Valley watersheds; as well as vulnerable plant and animal species.
Because of that, you can rest assured that every board is locally grown right here at home. Through regenerative and restorative forestry, we carefully manage every step in the process to create an ecologically sustainable and economically viable forest – from the beginning stages of native seedling plantation to producing beautiful hardwood flooring.
Our Story
For 30 years, we’ve been on a mission to steward a biodiverse and resilient mixed species and mixed-age forest – ensuring harvesting doesn’t exceed growth and regeneration. Our commitment to generational stewardship ensures every board tells a story of the forest of origin. We carefully and methodically bring the splendor of the natural world to the heart of your home or commercial project.

“My favorite aspect of working with Zena is supporting a small family forest and a team that really cares about the local economy and environment. They respect the nexus of all those things. Their passion for environmental stewardship and longterm/multigenerational story as a small landowner is rare. They have a strong environmental ethos and explore the balance between economy, ecology and the environment.”
