Contractor Opportunities
Keweenaw Land Association, Limited aims to provide opportunities to qualified contractors to deliver quality logging, trucking, and road building services to the Company throughout the year, consistent with best management practices and sustainable forestry policies.
Timber harvesting operations are concentrated principally in Gogebic, Ontonagon, Houghton, Iron, and Dickinson counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in stands primarily composed of northern hardwoods of exceptional grain and quality.
Keweenaw owns and operates a centralized log sorting and sales facility adjacent to its headquarters in Ironwood, Michigan. The majority of logging operations occur within a 50-mile radius of the Company's sort yard in Ironwood.
A forest road improvement program was initiated by Keweenaw in 1993. Constructing forest access roads at a minimum of one year in advance of their use in harvest operations allows time for natural settling and compacting of the road surface. The majority of road construction is on gravel roads with "all weather" capability, thus extending timber harvest seasons.
Contractors will comply with Keweenaw's "Best Management Practices" (BMP's) which addresses logging and road construction procedures that minimize the impact to forest watersheds and wildlife habitats.
Keweenaw seeks and utilizes independent, quality-oriented logging, trucking and road building contractors interested in building long-term business relationships. If you are interested, please contact:
