Ohio Valley Veneer specializes in the timbering and cutting of hardwoods. Currently, the company’s timberlands consists primarily of Appalachian hardwoods. Managed and overseen by Ohio Valley Realty Company, OVV currently owns over 2,000 acres of land in the Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virignia regions with many more acres that they are also contract timbering.
OVV follows sustainable forst initiatives (SFI Standards), which is a system that ensures social responsibility of forest land ownership and OVV employs only loggers certified in this process. The timber lances are actively managed to maximize their long-term value and increase productivity through responsible harvest plans, a commitment to reforestation, careful road construction and other best management practices. The timber harvested from the company timberlands is either converted to lumber, chipped in the chipping mill, or the logs are sold in the domestic market. OVV is continuing to acquire timberlands throughout the region, and internationally.
