Join CWSG's network of sawmills in northern california
Market access, logistics support, and brand storytelling — built around climate and ecologically smart forestry practices in California.
Why Join the Network?
Four pillars designed around the realities of small and mid-size NorCal mills.
Market Access
Direct connections to architects, builders, and homeowners actively seeking California wood.
We bring qualified buyers to you — no cold outreach required on your end.
Logistics Support
Inventory coordination, kiln-drying partnerships, and distribution routing.
We work with logistics partners so your wood moves efficiently from mill to job site.
Brand Storytelling
Position your mill within the restoration and wildfire-recovery narrative.
Co-branded content, partner spotlights, and spec sheets that tell your story to buyers who care.
Zero Risk
Non-exclusive agreement with no upfront fees during the initial partner period.
Keep your current customers and existing relationships — this adds to your business, not replaces anything.
What Partners Get
Concrete deliverables — not just a logo on a page.
- Featured partner listing with inventory visibility (where and when applicable)
- Facilitated access to buyers — architects, contractors, and homeowners looking for local wood
- Co-branded assets: authorized partner badge, spotlight posts, and spec sheets
- Support routing orders through a logistics chain (as applicable to your situation)
- Inclusion in restoration + recovery storytelling and marketing materials
What We Look For
This is a conversation first — not a gatekeeping checklist. Most mills that reach out are a fit or close to it.
- Able to respond to inquiries within 48 hours
- Can provide basic origin documentation or chain-of-custody (we'll help you build this if needed)
- Consistent quality and reliable fulfillment on agreed orders
- No kiln? Not a disqualifier — we can discuss kiln access through our partner network
