General Information
The investment into the Paleto Bay Sawmill by the government is a testament to the area's industrial heritage meeting modern needs. This project aims to revitalize existing milling infrastructure while applying valuable environmental and sustainable practices. We're blending economic growth for a community that needs it with a commitment to preserving the pristine environment that residents of Paleto Bay have come to know and love.
A significant focus in line with our 2030 Agenda's sustainable development goals is environmental stewardship. By incorporating advanced forestry practices and machinery, we can ensure minimal ecological disruption. For every tree harvested by the sawmill, three trees are planted — helping maintain the delicate forest ecosystem. Another key area in ensuring we remain ecologically ethical is reducing waste: byproducts such as wood chips and sawdust are repurposed for alternatives like biomass energy and mulch production.
The economic impact that this project stands to make is undeniable — creating skilled jobs, generating transportation and logistics demand, and empowering suppliers, contractors, and local businesses. We also preserve the rich history and identity of Paleto Bay by bridging past and future: taking an old sawmill and enhancing it with modern developments.

Glen Reddick
Operations Director
Meet Director Reddick
I began my career in the mill trade up in Humboldt County, working long shifts in one of the region's toughest and biggest sawmills. Over time, I worked my way up from the bottom — earning every promotion from millworker to supervisor through grit, reliability, and a deep understanding of the work. When the opportunity came to take on a leadership role, I applied and was appointed as the Sawmill’s Operations Director.
Today, I bring the same blue-collar mentality to my leadership style: practical, direct, worker-centered, and grounded in real experience. I prioritize site safety, reliable employment, and making sure operations run clean and tight. My focus moving forward is workforce stability, expanded output, and maintaining the standards the Paleto Sawmill stands for. With years of hands-on experience and the respect of the team behind me, I lead by example and expect the same from those around me.
