WESTNAF
Company History
Incorporated on September 6, 2012, WestNaf has spent more than ten years refining its technical expertise. Our foundational success was built on the specialized harvesting and export of Tectona grandis (Teak) from the FDA reforestation plantations in Glaro, River Gee County. This experience in high-end hardwoods provided the administrative blueprint for our expansion into the Chedepo District Community Forest.

Vision
To become a reliable, decade-long supply partner for global timber procurement, built on long-horizon planning, stable access rights, and disciplined operations in the Chedepo Authorized Community Forest.
Values
We prioritise legal security, disciplined execution, and long-term sustainability, delivering reliable hardwood log supply while protecting community interests and the Chedepo forest landscape in River Gee County.
