Mike O’Malley has built a well-rounded business in a little over 15 years. However, he’s acutely aware of the challenges facing the timber and forest products industry, and he’s doing something about it.

His business, O’Malley Brothers Corp., has diverse operations. Services include forestry operations, stream and habitat restoration, forest road and bridge construction, excavation and demolition, land clearing, supplying materials for habitat restoration, and heavy trucking. The company also buys some timber sales.

And there’s more besides that. “We are on many on-call emergency response contracts for tree removal work after storms, fires, and disasters for both state and federal agencies,” said O’Malley. “We operate statewide in Oregon and occasionally will take on work in Washington.”

BurnBot has developed some unique equipment for masticating vegetation, conducting controlled burning, and tapped into data analytics for planning and conducting landscape treatment operations.

Wesley Brinegar, BurnBot’s head of forestry, and Brittany Black, head of growth and partnerships, recently talked to TimberWest about the company’s innovations and operations.

Brinegar formerly owned his own company, High Sierra Timber Management, which was focused on fuels reduction for wildfire prevention and mitigation and based about 150 miles east of San Francisco on the western edge of the Stanislaus National Forest. His company did some work alongside BurnBot staff and began noticing their work. As he got to know some of them, they had mutual forester friends.

Through that connection, BurnBot made an offer to Brinegar earlier this year to acquire his business and put him on their staff. “BurnBot likes to make connections with each location they get into,” said Brinegar.

He was attracted to the idea of being part of a larger company that was able to treat more acres than he could with his business. “I thought it would be better to join them and support their vision to treat one million acres per year.”

The acquisition included Brinegar’s equipment – a Prinoth 500 track masticator, an assortment of excavators and other equipment and Fecon and Diamond Mowers mulching attachments – and his employees.

BurnBot has about 80 employees and also uses 15 contractors throughout the West. The contractors are mainly for overhead support functions and services. Equipment operators and other workers are BurnBot employees.

This year the company will treat more than 5,000 acres. Read more in TimberWest Magazine: https://forestnet.com/burnbot-goes-high-tech/

Despite having vast forest resources, Alaska has only a very small handful of sawmills in the interior region – a number that, at least in part, reflects how difficult it is to operate a business given the challenges that come with the state’s harsh climate.

Young’s Timber is one of only three sawmill businesses in the interior. It is an intergenerational enterprise, and owner Joe Young takes an innovative, holistic approach to his forest products business.

The company is located in southeast interior Alaska, just outside the small town of Tok, about 203 miles southeast of Fairbanks. The mill operations and log yard are situated on a 300-acre site.

Young, 73, started the company in 1993 with just a chainsaw, a pickup truck, a trailer, and a shovel; he sold firewood. Previously he worked for 20 years out of the International Union of Operating Engineers. He helped build the Haul Road, officially known as the Dalton Highway. Over 400 miles, it connects Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s northern coast. The route is known for its remote and challenging driving conditions, including gravel surfaces and limited services.

“Over the years, we built up the sawmill operation with a lot of help from people,” said Young.

The company still sells firewood, but its main products now are dimension lumber, timbers, and cabin kits. The company supplies lumber products to individual customers, oil companies, mining companies, a grocery store chain, the Tetlin Village Council, and various nonprofits. Young’s Timber has annual sales in excess of $2 million. Young recently built a shed to air-dry lumber products and protect them from the sun and rain.

O’Malley Brothers Corp., based in Boring, Oregon, has about 50 pieces of heavy equipment for logging, road construction, excavating, demolition, and material handling, along with a fleet of over 30 semi-tractors, trailers, and trucks.

Founded by Mike O’Malley in 2007, the company began as a trucking business hauling logs. “I realized early on that trucking for hire was a hard way to make a living,” he recalled, “so I began doing other work and small logging jobs for farmers.” The company expanded into land clearing, timber sales, forest road maintenance, and stream and habitat restoration projects, using unmerchantable logs from logging and land clearing jobs.

On current projects, O’Malley Brothers operates a Timbco 445D feller buncher with a Quadco hot saw, John Deere 2154 swing machines with Waratah 622 heads, Hitachi 240 and 370 shovels, and a Madill 3800 shovel with a Summit Attachments yoder package and Acme carriage for steep-slope work. The fleet also includes John Deere skidders and forwarders, bulldozers, excavators, and more than 30 semi-tractors, trailers, and trucks to handle all hauling internally.

“I like to find good, solid, used equipment that’s been well-maintained,” said O’Malley. “Used equipment has depreciated in value and is more affordable. I like to pay cash for it so I don’t carry a lot of debt.”

O’Malley Brothers currently works on projects across Oregon — from Blue River to LaGrande and around Mt. Hood — performing logging, road and bridge construction, stream restoration, excavation, demolition, and emergency response for state and federal agencies.

“We are just a small family business fighting hard to keep people employed in a state that is trying to kill the forest products sector,” said O’Malley. “We just want to give back to the community, and keep our forests safe, healthy and productive.”

California experienced its worst fire season in 2020. Residents in the San Francisco Bay region contended with widespread smoke and smoky, orange-tainted skies.⁠
⁠
Two men with no background in forestry, both residents of the region, decided to do something about it. Today their company, BurnBot , is bringing high-tech solutions to managing and treating landscapes to prevent and mitigate wildfires.🌲🔥⁠
⁠
Dr. Anukool Lakhina and Dr. Waleed Haddad began working together that same year, introduced by a mutual acquaintance because they were interested in solving the problem of wildfires. Both men are involved in the day-to-day business operations of the company on a full-time basis.⁠
⁠
Haddad and Lakhina both have a high level education and experience with technology, albeit in different areas. ⁠
⁠
Under their leadership BurnBot has developed some unique equipment for masticating vegetation, conducting controlled burning, and tapped into data analytics for planning and conducting landscape treatment operations.⁠
