NEW EPISODE OUT NOW

The Landing Ep 77: Gary Warner on Modern Logging, Forest Health & the Future of the Timber Industry

This week I sat down with Gary Warner of Warner Enterprises for a conversation about nearly 50 years of logging, forestry, wildfire management, and innovation in Northern California.

Gary shares the story of building and growing Warner Enterprises, the challenges facing today’s logging contractors, the future of biomass utilization, and why educating the public about forestry has never been more important.

We also dive into:

• The evolution of logging equipment and production
• Training the next generation of operators
• Forest health and wildfire mitigation
• Biomass markets and new opportunities for low-value wood
• Family business succession and leadership
• The Sierra Cascade Logging Conference and industry outreach

This episode is packed with insight from someone who has spent a lifetime working in the woods and helping shape the future of the industry.

A huge thank you to our sponsors:
