The Emmersons

#2 on the LR 100

The Emmerson family owns and sustainably manages more than 2.4 million acres of West Coast timberland. Through their forest-products company, SIERRA PACIFIC INDUSTRIES (SPI), they are among the largest US producers of lumber, millwork, windows, and renewable energy. SPI prioritizes the creation of quality wood products, rural job opportunities, wildfire-resilient forests, wildlife habitat, and recreational spaces. The Sierra Pacific Foundation has provided more than $6 million in scholarships to children of SPI crew members, including $521,000 in 2023. Earlier this year, the foundation pledged $1.1 million to rebuild a Northern California youth camp, ensuring future generations of children will enjoy outdoor educational experiences.

The largest private timberland owner in the nation, the Emmersons’ Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) has long been recognized as one of America’s leading forest-products companies. Founded in 1949 by Curly and Red Emmerson, SPI currently owns and oversees more than 2.4 million acres of sustainably managed forestland in California, Oregon, and Washington. SPI’s holdings form the backbone of an integrated operation that includes a conifer-seedling nursery, biomass-powered cogeneration facilities, 16 sawmills, two millwork plants, and five window- and door-manufacturing plants in Alabama, California, and Wisconsin.
