About Deadwood Forestry

We are a forestry business that provides services to the greater Sierra Nevada region in both Nevada and California. We reside and are based out of Reno, Nevada. Our owner, Lane Bennett, grew up on the southern end of the Sierras and ventured north to Reno to attend the University of Nevada where he studied 4 years to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering. While doing so, he spent his summers fighting fires with the Rifle Peak and Slide Mountain hand crews based out of North Lake Tahoe. With a newfound love for fighting fires and protecting forests he realized the overwhelming importance of the preventative side of firefighting including forestry practices, fuels reduction, and tree felling. This necessarily led him into the private forestry sector where both new and existing skills were developed and refined to include knowledge on appropriate forestry practices, operation of heavy equipment, and the advanced technical use of the chainsaw. After nearly a decade in the industry the experience that came with jobs ranging from residential single tree removals to full scale logging operations gave Lane the skills necessary to develop his own business, Deadwood Forestry. We are a trusted business that brings competent and valuable skills to each customer.
