Who we are
Responsible Forestry Solutions Built for the Land
Evergreen Forestry Group is a forestry contractor specializing in wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, ecological restoration and emergency response. We serve federal, state and local government clients, utilities, tribal governments and private landowners across the Western United States.
The company was founded on a multi-generational legacy of forestry, timber and natural resource management spanning five generations. Under the leadership of founder Michael D. Pryor III, Evergreen combines traditional forestry values with modern equipment and current land management practices.
The problems we solve are practical ones: fuel loads that make fire unmanageable, vegetation encroaching on lines and roadways, hazard trees threatening crews and the public, and ground that needs stabilizing before the next storm. We plan the work, execute it safely, and document it for the people who have to answer for it.

Scope: Emergency hazard-tree mitigation and slope stabilization along power-line corridors impacted by the 2018 Carr Fire.
Challenge: A compressed emergency response window with utility clearance standards, agency inspection and unstable post-fire terrain.
Solution: Mechanical felling, log extraction and debris removal coordinated directly with PG&E and CAL FIRE safety inspectors.
Outcome: Completed within the response window with zero recordable incidents. All safety, environmental and utility-clearance standards were met or exceeded, restoring safe access for line crews and public agencies.
