Responsible, Sustainable Forestry at the Collins Almanor Forest

Blackwing Explores the Collins Almanor Forest

 

A few months back, I had the opportunity to explore the Collins Almanor Forest in Northern California. My guides were Collins Pine Company Forest Manager Jay Francis, longtime CalCedar employee (and one of the best storytellers I’ve ever met), Eric Prater, and Jay’s dog. We spent the better part of a morning walking through the groves near Mill Creek, California while Jay explained why Incense-cedar is the perfect wood for responsible, sustainable forestry and manufacturing.

Walking through the forest while learning about its history and how it’s being preserved was both calming and inspiring. Every Blackwing pencil starts as a Genuine Incense-cedar tree, and we’ve put together this short video to show why that’s a good thing for our pencils and our planet.
