Purchasing

When Brumbaugh Lumber – Shirleysburg PA is contacted to evaluate timber, we take the time to meet with the landowner to discuss his or her goals for the property. We make it our mission to align and customize our forest management plan to the landowner’s specific needs such as revenue, wildlife, beauty, and recreation, to insure they get the very best out of their property.

Timber management views your land as an investment. Proper management of forestland can maximize the value of your property and keep it healthy for generations. Forest regeneration and health are the main focus of our timber management polities. Some of the common types are:

Timber Stand Improvement: With this plan, our number one goal is to improve the quality of the timber on your land. We cut out the lower value or damaged trees and leave the higher quality trees to grow. This helps the growth of your current, high-value trees. Short term payout is moderate, but long term payout is significant because the quality of the wood on your property is greatly improved.

Shelter Wood: With this plan, we take all of the smaller diameter trees and leave the larger, mature trees for reseeding. This helps to generate a more desirable forest. We can harvest this again in anywhere from six to ten years. At that time, we re-enter the site and cut the larger trees out. The end goal is to have sixty percent coverage. This creates a higher quality of tree and a steady, recurring income stream.

Over Story Removal (OSR): OSR, sometimes called clear cutting, removes all trees from a specific area. This usually involves one part of the forest at a time. This maximizes sunlight reaching the ground and promotes ideal regeneration. The yield on a clear cut (short term gain) can be high, but it then takes a long time for the forest to regrow in these areas. Regeneration quality is greatly improved, providing you with a move valuable forest.

We can use any combination of the above cutting methods to achieve your goals. In addition, we also offer long term timber management plans that cover a ten or twenty year period.

Our equipment can reach out twenty feet and harvest the desirable trees without doing harm to the surrounding timber. When mechanization isn’t an option, our conventional crews have decades of experience successfully harvesting sensitive sites. We strive to have a minimum negative impact on the environment.” – Wes Brumbaugh, Co-Owner

History

Company History:

Brumbaugh Lumber Company was originally founded in 1982 by Chester and Carma Brumbaugh. In 1986, Chester bought his second sawmill, which subsequently burnt down in 1987. To keep up with demand, the Shirleysburg mill ran two shifts for a few years. In 1994, Chester and Carma decided on a major expansion, upgrading and installing a double-cut band head saw. This increased efficiency and production while cutting down on sawdust.

Chester and Carma continued to run the mill along Route 522 until their retirement in July of 2004. At that time, their sons, Corey and Wesley, assumed ownership of the existing mill and incorporated the business into Brumbaugh Lumber, LLC.

Corey and Wesley have been involved with all aspects of the timber business for most of their lives. At an early age, they accompanied their father and grandfather into the woods to learn the logging end of the business. During their high school years, they actively worked in the woods or the sawmill. Growing up in the industry helped them to learn and understand the ins and outs in a way that few get the opportunity to experience.

While Corey and Wes share decisions involved with the day-to-day operations of the mill, Corey focuses on the Sales side of the business and Wes on Purchasing.

In order to maintain a ready supply of logs to saw, Brumbaugh Lumber LLC not only bids on and cuts standing tracts of timber, but also buys material from local loggers who deliver to the mill each week. Today, ninety percent of our products are produced and shipped to buyers throughout Pennsylvania and the surrounding states, with the remaining ten percent being exported to Canada. Corey and Wes, along with their dedicated employees, have worked hard to expand the company from where it started and hope to pass on the family business to the next generation.
