Shasta Forests h A Six Hundred Thousand Acre Trce Farm
When R. A. "Dick" Colgan quit a big and high-salaried job a few months back as executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. and announced that he was going to California to run a tree farm, much interest was naturally aroused as to what kind and size of a tree farm it could be ?
Well, it is SOME tree farm ! It seems that when the stockholders of the Red River Lumber Company sold their very large sawmill plant at Westwood, California, they organized in 1947 the Shasta Forests Company, with headqttarters at Redding, California, to own and operate as a tree growing property more than 600,000 acres of timber land in that vicinity. These timber lands are held as various partnerships by the Red River stockholders. Shasta Forests, as "Dick" Colgan explains it, "has the responsibility of protecting and managing for sustained production these timber lands which, at the present time, amount to over 6OC.000 acres."
\{r. Colgan further explains: "A large part of the timber is at the present time under various sales contracts. The timber on other portions is being liquidated in an orderly manner; mostly to the mills and plywood plants in or adjacent to the ownership. The management of the forest land is based on sound economics. An excellent opportunity to prove what private enterprise can do in protecting and managing forests; and I feel quite sure that we rvill give a good account of ourselves."
So Mr. Colgan is managing one of the world's mightiest tree farms, u'hose business it $'ill be to produce a sustained )'ield of timber from norv on. The acreage is all in pine territory, and the production o{ the land is chiefly Ponderosa. Grorving big trees on so vast an acreage is the big job that induced Mr. Colgan to leave the National.
