The forests of Alberta are one of the most important natural resources we have. Alberta’s forest companies are committed to making sure that our forests remain sustainable forever.
200 Years In The Making
Harvesting is thoughtful and strategic. It takes years of meticulous planning. In fact, before a single tree is cut, forestry companies study and analyze the forest ecosystem before presenting the government with a 200-year plan, repeating the process every ten years with improved information and following applicable regulations.
