BUY LOCAL FROM WELL-MANAGED FORESTS
There are so many brilliant reasons to buy local. When you trade 2-day delivery for fresh-from-the-forest, you’re supporting local landowners, sustainable forestry practices, and guaranteed high-quality products.
Many local forest owners make and sell non-timber forest products that would make wonderful stocking stuffers or can feed your home hearth. This holiday season, consider supporting ecological forestry by purchasing from one of the forests below.
NNRG MEMBERS
OAK BASIN TREE FARM
Canopy Essential Oils
Canopy Essential Oils are a handcrafted collection of natural oil extracts carefully steam distilled from the tender bough tips of Oregon native conifers on FSC®-certified Oak Basin Tree Farm. We first select fresh needles from healthy trees free from insects, disease or chemical residues. From this harvest we create essential oils unmatched in purity, Intensity, and freshness. The oil is concentrated, undiluted and pure, so a little goes a long way.

HEARTLAND FOREST
Treehouse Airbnb
Heartland Forest in Langlois, Oregon, is host to a lovely treehouse perched between two massive fir trees overlooking a steep river canyon. The treehouse can be rented on AirBnb – though it is in high demand and already booked out for most of 2022. According to the AirBnb listing, “Sounds of a nearby waterfall will soothe you to bed at night and gently wake you in the morning. Your treehouse home is secluded, comfortable, and perfect for getting blissed out and recharged.”
