About Timberland Logging | Ashland, Oregon

Timberland Logging, a subsidiary of TL Forest Products was founded by Bob Ferreira in 1981 and is based in Ashland, Oregon. What started as one conventional logging side in Northern California, soon grew with the addition of a Yarder, into 5 sides and employed 80+ employees and 40+ contract truckers. Our company had expanded to working in Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon and Northern California.

In 1984 we diversified with a helicopter division for 135 charters and external load work creating us a vast market for work including power-line surveying, Fish & Wildlife animal surveys, firefighting, and Christmas trees in the fall. In 2013 the helicopter division was transferred to that department’s employees where they have continued to operate at our location today.

In 1987 we purchased property and built our office, helicopter hanger and shops at our present location. Bob’s son Tim graduated high school in 1988 and started working full time learning the business as he earned his degree from Oregon Institute of Technology.

As things changed, we changed also, in 1992 we started the transformation from conventional logging sides to mechanical sides, with the use of feller-bunchers, processors, grapple cats and skidders, placing all employees inside a machine.

In 2007 we added another dimension to our company as road building and excavation became a requirement on most of our logging jobs. Then once again in 2011 we expanded our jobs to include a chipper and grinder to provide products for biomass and co-generation plants.

In 2016 Bob Ferreira, the founder of the corporation, “semi” retired, and his son Tim Ferreira has taken over the reins of the corporation.

Timberland Logging is an ever-evolving company. We look forward to the changing demands and technology of our industry as we grow. We are grateful to be able to provide a viable and family orientated workplace that people can be proud to be a part of.
