Oregon-based Staton Forestry offers a unique mix of services for a forestry business. While the company has done a few small logging jobs, most of its recent work has focused on restoring floodplains, relocating riverbeds, reducing wildfire risk, and improving fish habitat.

“We’re just trying to find what the best niche there is,” says manager and partner Michael Murphy, “and it seems like floodplain restoration is where all the government money is flowing right now.”

From fuel break maintenance and pre-commercial thinning to large-scale creek and floodplain restoration projects, Staton Forestry is building a reputation for tackling challenging work while continuing to expand its capabilities and services across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.

“The best advice I can give is save every penny you can when the going is good because it will turn bad, and you can get through it.” — Justin Everhart, JEM Forestry

Justin Everhart and his crew at JEM Forestry have built a reputation for tackling some of the steepest, wettest, and most challenging logging ground in Idaho.

A self-described “diehard Tigercat fan,” Everhart runs an impressive lineup that includes a Tigercat 830E feller buncher, LS855E shovel logger, and 625H skidder, alongside Link-Belt shovels with Waratah processing heads, a Tractionline winch assist system, CAT forestry equipment, and more. His latest investment, the Tigercat 625H skidder, has helped extend JEM’s logging season and opened the door to jobs they previously would have had to pass up.
