01 / WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION

Reduce fuels.
Thin selected trees.

Harvester among standing trees, with processed timber in the foreground

Selective thinning and forest fuel management, with attention to the trees being retained.

Whether you have a property to discuss or an existing treatment scope, start with the location and the work required.

Agree what the work includes

Discuss site access, vegetation to retain and how cut material will be handled. If you already have a treatment prescription, mention it so the operational requirements can be discussed.

No forestry treatment eliminates wildfire risk.

Start with these details

Project location, approximate area if known, access and your objective. An existing plan is helpful context, not a requirement to make an enquiry.

02 / COMMERCIAL THINNING

Harvest selectively.
Process and forward.

Forwarder grapple loading cut timber

Selected trees cut and processed, with forwarding to move timber out of the stand.

Compact harvesting and forwarding equipment supports work between retained trees. Equipment suitability depends on the access, terrain and timber involved.

Define the timber-handling scope

Discuss the cutting and processing required, extraction access and where timber needs to be collected. Road haulage, log purchasing and disposal should not be assumed to be included.

Start with these details

Location, a description of the stand or work package, access and intended timing. If you have an existing scope, tell Aaron what it calls for.

PLANNING THE WORK

Know what happens next.

Where can Boss work?

Based in Burns Lake, with projects across much of BC considered according to job size and travel costs. Share your location to discuss whether the work is a fit.

What affects the quote?

The required work, site access, material handling and travel all need to be discussed. There is no single price that fits every property or work package.

Already have project requirements?

Bring your scope, timing and procurement requirements to the discussion. Ask Aaron about equipment, availability and any documentation your project requires.

Not sure which service fits?

Describe the situation in your own words. You can start a conversation before you have a complete work scope.
