As a Native American woman-owned business, Elsi Logging deeply understands the sacred relationship between Indigenous communities and the land. We are honored to offer specialized services tailored to the unique needs of tribal governments and Indigenous organizations throughout California, including those in Humboldt County and beyond. Our approach integrates respect for cultural heritage with the principles of sustainable forestry, ensuring that land management decisions align with traditional ecological knowledge and support tribal sovereignty.

Our services for tribal forestry and cultural stewardship include:

• Culturally Sensitive Land Management: We work in partnership with tribal communities to implement forestry practices that are in harmony with traditional ecological knowledge. This involves understanding and incorporating culturally significant practices, respecting traditional land use patterns, and ensuring that forest management activities are conducted in a way that honors the cultural landscape.
• Sustainable Economic Development: Elsi Logging is committed to helping tribes generate income and build economic self-sufficiency through ethical and sustainable timber harvesting. Our methods prioritize long-term forest health, ensuring a continuous resource for future generations while providing economic opportunities for tribal members.
• Sacred Site Protection: We recognize the profound importance of sacred sites and cultural resources. Our operational planning meticulously identifies and ensures that significant cultural sites remain undisturbed during any forestry activities. We work closely with tribal cultural resource experts to protect these invaluable aspects of Indigenous heritage.
• Community Forestry Programs: Elsi Logging is dedicated to empowering tribal members through active participation in sustainable forestry projects. We offer community forestry programs that provide training, create job opportunities, and foster a deeper connection to the land through sustainable management practices.

We are proud to stand alongside tribes and Indigenous communities in their efforts to promote responsible land stewardship, protect their cultural heritage, and build a sustainable future for their people. Our commitment is to provide services that are not only environmentally sound and economically beneficial but also deeply respectful of tribal sovereignty and cultural values.
