Charles F. Flinn and Walker B. Tilley Fund for Sustainable Forestry

Donate to this fund now:

Charles F. Flinn was a leader in the early forest industry in Mendocino County. He was the Manager of the L. E. White Lumber company in Greenwood (now Elk) in the early 1900’s, and then became Manager of the Albion Lumber Company in the 1920’s. Walker B. Tilley, a member of a pioneer Humboldt County family, came to work for the Albion Lumber Company as Forest Engineer during Flinn’s tenure. He had a distinguished international career as a forester, and returned to Mendocino County to be Chief Forester for Masonite Corporation.  This fund is created in their memories with the goal of making grants to non-profit organizations that are assisting public and small private (non-industrial) forest owners to maintain and enhance the economic, social, and environmental values of Mendocino County’s working forests and range lands.
