Our Advantage...
is our professional integrity combined with our business management and technical forestry knowledge obtained by hands on experience. We have a network of long term partner businesses we use for everything from GIS to field surveys to legal opinions. Moreover our network of government and industry contacts ensures we can complete any job with current science, data and knowledge. We seek complex, difficult forestry and business problems, break them down into manageable parts and provide practical solutions that save money.
Our Mission...
We recognize that forests contribute to the air we breathe, the water we drink, the shelters we build and the medicines we need for our well being.
We provide forestry technical expertise, operations management, practical business experience and long term sustainable forest management to land owners, investment banks and funds, First Nations, businesses and governments in the forest and mining sectors to help them sustainably achieve their project goals.
