Westgate Urban Woods was founded on a passion for Claro Walnut. The species grows exceptionally well in the Sacramento Valley of northern California.  During the last century, these trees were planted along primary roads and property lines in Chico, California. The harvesting of the old trees for public safety reasons enticed Ivan Hoath and Phil Aldred to form a business venture with a mission to reclaim this wood and make it available for the woodworking community.

In addition to the walnut, Westgate Urban Woods has branched out to acquire other local species. Several varieties of oak, pistach, silver maple, redwood, madrone, olive, bay laurel, black locust, cedar, liquid amber, and the list goes on, have passed through the company’s hands.

Today, Westgate Urban Woods is headquartered five miles south of Chico in the community of Durham.
