Automation

Today’s forest harvesting operations are much different than they were 25 years ago. Operators work in climate-controlled, ergonomically designed cabs which are safer and much more technologically advanced. Surrounded by sophisticated technology and multiple controls, forest operators are more like present-day pilots. Thanks to onboard GPS technology, operators always know where they are and where important forest features, such as buffers and sensitive areas, need to be avoided. 

Sustainable forest management means continuous improvement, staying current with the best practices, and science and technology. Continuous improvement is everyone’s job. We utilize an ISO 14001 environmental management system, and every year all our forest management operations are independently audited and third-party certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) standard (in Canada and the United States) and by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C041515) in the United States. These annual report cards are available here. We’re committed to forest management that is responsible and is balanced - environmentally, socially, and economically, for our employees, our customers, and our neighbours.
