“Nordic Veneer Inc. Announces Closure of Roseburg Operations

Roseburg, Oregon — July 3, 2026

After more than 72 years of continuous operation as a family-owned cornerstone of Douglas County’s timber industry, Nordic Veneer Inc. today announced it will permanently cease production at its facility in Roseburg. The company, founded in 1954 by Dick Adams and Norm Jacobsen, purchased the Perkins veneer plant in Dixonville in 1960 and has since operated under the stewardship of the Adams family across four generations. It has been a vital local employer, producing high-quality veneer and contributing to the regional wood products economy.

“After careful and difficult consideration, we have made the decision to close our operations,” said Art Adams, owner of Nordic Veneer. “Our industry has faced sustained wood supply and market challenges, structural realignment, and foreign competition. Despite our team’s hard work, recent investments in efficiency, and deep commitment to this business, sustaining operations is no longer viable under current market conditions.”

Nordic Veneer has long been defined by its family leadership and strong ties to the community, including support for local hospitals and cancer centers, libraries, schools, healthcare systems, Umpqua Valley Christian School, and early efforts to bring Christian radio to the area through translators.

The company will work closely with its dedicated team of employees to provide transition support, and is actively working with employees on job placement resources. Nordic Veneer extends its sincere gratitude to its employees — many of whom have been part of the “family-oriented” culture for decades — as well as to its suppliers, customers, and the broader Roseburg and Douglas County community for their partnership over more than seven decades.  

The Adams family remains proud of the legacy built on hard work, integrity, local investment, and care for the community that has defined Nordic Veneer since its founding.

‘We would like to thank our dedicated employees over the last 72 years, the community who has stood beside us every step of the way, and most of all the Creator of it all, who sustained our business and family and blessed us beyond anything we could have imagined. To God be the glory.’”

DFPA Raises Public Use Restrictions to Moderate Starting July 3

ROSEBURG, Ore. – The City of Roseburg is proud to invite the community to celebrate the ceremonial ribbon cutting of Brown Park, a long-anticipated neighborhood park expansion project that will provide a welcoming gathering space for residents of all ages.

The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Wednesday, July 8, at 3:30 p.m. at Brown Park, located at the corner of Harvard Boulevard and Francis Street in southwest Roseburg.

Brown Park spans just under one acre and features modern, inclusive playground equipment designed for children of all abilities, accessible pathways, ADA-compliant parking, open green space, and other amenities that encourage recreation and community connection.

The project was made possible through years of planning, community collaboration, generous local donors, grant funding, and the dedication of City staff. A local family donated $150,000 to help the City purchase the property, which also provided a portion of the required local match for funding through the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department's Local Government Grant Program.

The City will also recognize the lasting contributions of those who helped make Brown Park possible. A memorial bench honoring the former property owner, whose vision of expanding Brown Park helped make the project possible, has been installed in the park. Additional improvements are still to come. The City has purchased a pavilion that is scheduled to be installed later this summer.

"This project is the result of strong community partnerships and a shared commitment to expanding recreational opportunities in Roseburg," said Velorie Ligon, Parks and Recreation Program Manager. "Brown Park provides a welcoming space that will serve neighborhood residents and visitors for generations."

The public is invited to attend the ceremony and celebrate the opening of Brown Park with City officials, project partners, donors, and community members.

Brown Park Ribbon Cutting Set for July 8 in Southwest Roseburg

The Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) is lowering fire restrictions for both the public and industry, effective 12:01 p.m. Friday, June 26, 2026.

Recent precipitation across DFPA-protected lands has improved fuel moisture conditions, prompting the agency to drop Public Use Restriction Levels to LOW for all private, county, state, and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District.

Despite the reduction, DFPA reminds residents that fire season remains in effect and that caution should still be used when handling fire or equipment outdoors. Debris burning, including debris piles and burn barrels, remains prohibited at all times.

Under the LOW restriction level, non-industrial power saw usage, cutting, grinding, or welding of metal, cutting, trimming, or mowing of dried, cured grass, and power-driven machinery for non-industrial improvement or development on private property is allowed all day.

Off-road driving is allowed with landowner permission for motor vehicles, including motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, but only on improved roads free of flammable vegetation, except for cultivating and harvesting agricultural crops. Each passenger vehicle traveling on forestlands, except on state highways, county roads, and driveways, must carry an axe, a shovel, and one gallon of water or a 2½-pound or larger ABC fire extinguisher. ATVs must carry a 2½-pound or larger ABC fire extinguisher.

The Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) also decreases to Level 1 at the same time, within the Douglas Forest Protection District, all regulated use areas, and all forestlands within one-eighth mile of those areas, including lands managed by the Roseburg District Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The change applies to regulated use areas DG-1, DG-2, UA-1, and UA-2, and all forestland within one-eighth mile thereof.

Under IFPL Level 1, the use of fire or power-driven machinery in any operation area is unlawful unless it complies with all applicable fire prevention requirements of ORS Chapter 477 and OAR Chapter 629 Divisions 41 to 43.

Floated the river yesterday from Amacher Park to Hestness Landing! The weather was beautiful and the river felt so nice. Perfect temp!

When the weather warms, the boat landing at Amacher Park becomes a launch point for floating the North Umpqua River. Our favorite float ends  at Hestness Landing and takes about two hours. Paddling a kayak shortens the trip, while a slow drift can stretch it longer.

Floaters who want a longer day on the water continue past Hestness to River Forks Park, a route that runs closer to four to six hours depending on the pace. 

Amacher Park sits on the North Umpqua about six miles north of Roseburg, near Winchester. The 15.5-acre county park offers day-use areas, picnic spots, seasonal swimming, fishing, and a campground, along with the developed boat ramp and river access.

This Saturday, June 20th, the Douglas County Association of REALTORS is hosting Open House Day across the county, and it's shaping up to be the easiest way all year to go house hunting.

Twenty-eight homes will be open in a single afternoon, spread across Roseburg, Winchester, Sutherlin, Oakland, Winston, Riddle, and Myrtle Creek. Roseburg alone has seventeen homes on the list, with showings starting as early as 10 a.m. and the last doors staying open until 4 p.m. Whether you're a first-time buyer just starting to look or someone who's been watching the market for a while, there's a good chance something on the list is worth a visit.

The day is built to be low-pressure and easy. Local agents will be on hand at each home to answer questions, talk through the neighborhood, and help you get a feel for what fits. No appointment needed, just show up and look around.

There's a little extra incentive, too. At every open house you visit, you can enter your name for a chance to win a Yeti Tundra 45 cooler. Each home is another entry, so the more you tour, the better your odds, a fun reason to make a full day of it and see a few more places than you planned.

So mark it on your calendar for tomorrow, Saturday, June 20th.

There's a little extra incentive, too. At every open house you visit, you can enter your name for a chance to win a Yeti Tundra 45 cooler. Each home is another entry, so the more you tour, the better your odds, a fun reason to make a full day of it and see a few more places than you planned.

So mark it on your calendar for tomorrow, Saturday, June 20th.
