Our Forests
We pride ourselves on being good forest stewards and good neighbors.
Sustainable Forests
Science-based Management.
At Hampton Lumber, we approach forest management with an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Our practices are rooted in responsible forestry, preserving and nurturing healthy forests for future generations. Through science-based timberland management, we strive to maintain the delicate balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility, ensuring that our forests thrive for years to come.
Sustainable Forestry Initiative
Third-Party Certification
The goal of sustainable forestry is to combine the continuous growing and harvesting of trees with the protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality and a wide range of other conservation goals. Our forest practices are certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) in the U.S. and Canada. We practice a forest stewardship ethic that includes high standards to protect water quality, biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat, and species at risk.
Forest Recreation
Public & Permitted Access
Our forests aren’t just about lumber—they’re about life. Beyond serving as a vital resource for lumber production, our forestlands provide abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation and enjoyment. From hiking to hunting, there’s something for everyone to explore and appreciate.
Habitat Enhancement
Working with Nature.
As timberland managers, we’re always looking for ways to enhance habitat through the course of our operations. This might include placing large woody debris in streams to enhance fish habitat or constructing and maintaining biodens during harvest operations.
Our Pollinator Enhancement Project is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing habitat and forage for native bees on our lands by strategically sowing native wildflower seeds in recently harvested areas. Pollinators play a critical role in our ecosystem, facilitating the pollination of plants and ensuring food production for various species, including humans.
Hampton Family Forests
Our approach to community and forest stewardship
Our approach to forest management showcases our values and our commitment to the communities in which we operate.
Like other forestland owners in the Pacific Northwest, we manage our forests under some of the most advanced and protective forest practice laws in the world. All of our forests are also certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). However, the ways in which we manage our lands and support and enhance the environmental, social and economic benefits our forest provide are certainly unique, influenced by the Hampton family and our long history in the region.
In addition to providing jobs and much needed building materials, our forest support public recreational access, habitat enhancement opportunities, and a venue for the occasional artistic event.

Seedlings are where sustainable forestry begins 🌱🌲. At nurseries, careful planning and strategy help ensure healthy forests for future generations.
Seedlings often start their journey in a greenhouse, where conditions are carefully controlled for optimal growth in their early stages. Once strong enough, they move to bareroot fields, where they grow in natural conditions, developing the robust root systems needed to thrive when planted in the forest.
This greenhouse-to-bareroot approach ensures the seedlings are strong, adaptable, and ready for reforestation—supporting clean air, healthy habitats, and renewable resources. It’s a small start for a big impact! 🌎

David Hampton and his wife, Brette stopped to snap a selfie with our iconic forest smiley face! The 300-foot-wide smiley was planted in 2011 by crews using a rope to plot the circle and pinpoint the eyes and mouth. Larch trees, whose needles turn golden in the fall before dropping, make the smiley face visible each autumn.
Visible from Highway 18, it’s a playful reminder of the thoughtfulness and care that goes into forest management. 🌲😊

✨ In the heart of autumn, we are reminded of the incredible life cycles happening within our forests. For trees, autumn is a season of preparation and conservation. Leaves change and fall as trees shift their energy to their roots, conserving resources for the cold winter months ahead. 🍂
At Hampton, we`re committed to responsible stewardship- ensuring that our harvest aligns with these natural cycles. By working with these seasonal rhythms, we help preserve the health and diversity of our forestlands for generations to come 🌲 ✨

🍄 Just in time for Halloween...the super spooky Dacrymyces chrysospermus. This jelly fungus likes to grow in decaying conifers whereas it`s cousin, Witches` Butter, prefers hardwoods.
