Responsible Forest Stewardship
Our timber comes from about 476,000 m³ of conifer a year, harvested under four long-term Sustainable Forest Licences — the largest is the Hearst Forest. The timber we process is FSC® certified.
Harvested areas are renewed so the forest keeps supplying the mill and the region for generations. [confirm replanting details]

Family-First Culture
Lecours Lumber has been run by the same family since Arthur Lecours started it in 1943. That continuity shapes how we work: long-term decisions, a team that knows the mill, and customers who deal with people they know.
Our crews run the sawmill, planer mill, yard and shipping in Calstock, 37 km west of Hearst, with safety first.
