Sheridan Logging and Lumber Company owns 3,020 acres of timberland on the north side of Mount Leno, which was purchased in 2008 at a cost of $500 per acre. In 2020, Sheridan began selectively logging this timber tract. In May 2020, Mount Leno erupted, burying the timberland of Sheridan under a foot of ash. All of the timber on the Sheridan tract was downed. In addition, the logging roads, built at a cost of $144,100, were destroyed, as well as the logging equipment, with a net book value of $277,600. At the time of the eruption, Sheridan had logged 20% of the estimated 509,950 board feet of timber. Prior to the eruption, Sheridan estimated the land to have a value of $210 per acre after the timber was harvested.
