January 1, 2022 – Mason, Bruce & Girard is proud to announce it has officially acquired Barnes & Associates, a natural resources consulting and management firm headquartered in Roseburg, Oregon. With this merger, more than 10 employees have joined the MB&G team, bringing in new forest management business, expanding MB&G’s land management capabilities, and increasing the company’s consulting work for small to midsize forest landowners throughout Oregon.

The owners of Barnes & Associates, Rick and Audrey Barnes, said, “We chose MB&G because we deeply respect the owners, the outstanding reputation they have built, and the company culture they have nurtured. MB&G is the best choice to take care of our employees and clients thanks to MB&G’s 100-year-old history and award-winning service.”
MB&G now has complementary office locations in Oregon, including in Portland, Scio, Eugene, Roseburg and North Bend, in addition to its offices in California, Virginia and Colorado.
Barnes & Associates will continue operating under their name during a transition period.
Field days often reveal more than what’s on the map. Recently, our foresters wrapped up a timber check cruise on scattered parcels in SW Oregon. Our role was to audit contractor cruise data and revisit plots to identify any potential discrepancies.
