Mendocino Redwood Company remains chained to the practices of its predecessor-in-interest, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, 15 years after purchasing more than 200,000 acres of Mendocino County timberland from L-P. At its inception, Mendocino Redwood Company continued to employ many of the same people as its forerunner. One of those was Jon Woessner, the former Albion area forester, who in recent years has moved on to MRC’s companion corporation, Humboldt Redwood Co. Tom Schultz, whose tenure with L-P goes back to its earliest days in the 1980s, has also moved on to a Humboldt Redwood posting, though the Humboldt and Mendocino Redwood paychecks ultimately derive from the same place: the Fisher family who run The Gap, Inc. clothing stores.
