R.A. Yancey Lumber Corp completed all fencing projects promised as a part of the Special Exception Requests approved by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors in August 2020. Three fences (above pictures) were built in various locations spanning ~1000 feet in total! Additional projects continue with attention to well-managed construction and noise mitigation.

Strong markets for lumber keep forests as forests.

Sawmills not only help the environment, they also support the economy. For every 1,000,000 board feet processed, ~35 jobs are supported in harvesting and manufacturing.

At R.A. Yancey Lumber Corp, we produce zero wood waste in creating dimensional lumber and timbers from yellow pine logs that measure up to 50 feet long. In any given year, we:

1. Purchase 188,000 tons of yellow pine logs.

2. Create 40,000,000+ board feet of dimensional lumber and timbers combined.

3. Manufacture 52,000 tons of wood chips sold to paper companies that make paper, boxes, medical packaging, cartons, and many other products.

4. Produce 60,000 cubic yards of bark for mulch sold by the trailer load and sold locally for landscaping and playgrounds.

5. Generate 14,000 tons of sawdust used as boiler fuel to dry the lumber at our kilns.

6. Make 15,000 cubic yards of shavings from dressed lumber sold to poultry and livestock farms as well as to horse farms for bedding. Clean, fresh shavings help keep young chicks disease free providing a sustainable food source for Virginians.
