Our Services
We provide hands-on silviculture services across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, using manual clearing saws to ensure precision, care, and quality results.
​
​All services are completed by trained, experienced crews and backed by full insurance coverage for your peace of mind.
Early Competition Control
What it is:
Early competition control removes fast-growing, low-value species that compete with desirable trees in young forests.
​
When it’s done:
Typically 4–7 years after regeneration.
​
Why it matters:
Just like weeding a garden, removing species such as pin cherry and grey birch allows spruce, sugar maple, yellow birch, and white pine to establish and thrive.
​
Who it’s for:
Woodlot owners who want to set their forest up for long-term success from the very beginning.
Land Mapping
Want to truly understand your property?
​
We provide digital land mapping that can include:
-
Property boundaries
-
Trails
-
Ponds and wetlands
-
Legacy trees
-
Areas of interest
​
Maps can be viewed on satellite imagery and used for easy navigation.
Pre-Commercial Thinning
What it is:
Pre-commercial thinning reduces tree density so each remaining tree has access to adequate light, nutrients, and space.
​
What it solves:
Overcrowded stands limit growth and reduce forest health. Thinning allows selected trees to reach their full potential.
​
Typical outcome:
Stands are usually left with approximately 1,500–2,500 trees per hectare, depending on site conditions and landowner goals.
​
Customization:
We work with you to determine which species are left based on your objectives.
Boundary Line Clearing
Over time, boundary lines can disappear into forest growth.
​
We:
-
Clear trails along existing boundaries
-
Refresh boundary blazes
-
Provide a digital boundary map
​
This ensures your lines are easy to find and remain clear for years.
Site Clearing
Our experienced crew can clear small, medium, or large trees to prepare land for:
-
Development
-
Access roads
-
Infrastructure projects
​
All work is completed safely and efficiently.
How it Works
1. Initial Review
We begin by reviewing satellite imagery to understand your woodlot at a high level.
2. On-Site Assessment
We visit the property and conduct a site cruise, noting species composition, tree height, density, and overall forest health.
​
3. Planning & Consultation
We review findings with you and develop a plan based on your goals and site conditions.
4. Flagging & Sectioning
The woodlot is flagged and divided into work sections.
5. Active Work Phase
Our crew receives direction from the foreman and begins work following clear species and density targets.
​
6. Quality Audits
Once complete, the foreman audits the work to ensure outcomes meet the plan.
