Neal Creek Forest Products, a local provider of premium firewood, landscaping materials, and snow removal services, has announced the opening of its second location in The Dalles, Oregon. The grand opening celebration will take place on Friday, March 3, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST, with ribbon cutting festivities with The Dalles Chamber of Commerce taking place from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. PST.
Located just outside the heart of downtown The Dalles, the new location at 1800 W 2nd St., The Dalles, OR 97058, will offer the same products as its Hood River operation, with the exception of onsite mill working services. For more than five years, Neal Creek Forest Products has provided Columbia Gorge residents with premium firewood, mulch, compost, soil, rock, gravel, pavers, snow removal, green recycling, and mill working services.
The New Location: 1800 W 2nd, The Dalles
"We're excited about expanding our services to The Dalles," said Paul Jones, Owner of Neal Creek Forest Products. "Over the years, we've watched the demand for our products grow and realize patrons are looking to buy local, instead of purchasing from big box stores or national chains."
Contrary to its competitors, Neal Creek Forest Products is locally owned and operated. Jones, who started the company in 2018, has been a resident of Hood River for more than 16 years, where he, his wife, and two boys play an active role in the local community. In addition to being locally owned, Jones has made a commitment to sourcing many of their sustainable forest products from the region.
"We understand how important healthy forests are to the preservation of our planet and we're cognizant of how our business decisions could affect these valuable resources. That is why 80% of the products we provide are upcycled or recycled materials. Much of our mulch comes from the trees the National Forest Service has requested be removed. Our green waste of recycled tree branches, leaves, lawn clippings, and more are brought to Dirt Huggers and then turned into organic compost," Jones said.
With the addition of the new location, Neal Creek Forest Products, and other companies that Jones owns, will employ more than 30 local residents, maintain partnerships with more than 40 regional companies, and continue to support the National Forest Service.
Neal Creek Forest Products is the largest, locally-sourced and sustainable material provider in the area. Customers can stop by the site or schedule their delivery today at https://nealcreekfp.com.
