index of current industry 

Powell River has many dedicated and effective firms in the forest sector that provide a signifcant economic contribution to our community while maintaining a balance with non-timber values such as recreation and protection of watersheds, old growth trees, biodiversity, and wildlife.

But many residents have little information about these companies and exactly what they do in the forests now and in previous decades.

This website is an attempt to celebrate the firms involved by showing connections between tenure holders, prime contractors, sub-contractors and the forest they work in.

We invite the firms involved to provide or correct the text we have posted so far, add photos and details that describe their part in the industry.

We'd like you to share the information you would like to see preserved as part of Powell River's Forestry Heritage.

From Tenure holders we'd like: dates of involvement in Powell River, tenure maps, forest stewardship summaries, main contractors you work with, cubic meters harvested etc

From Harvest, Road Builder and Trucking contractors we'd like dates of involvement in Powell River, names and photos of main equipments and people, partner firms, forest areas you work in, cubic meters harvested or hauled, kms of road built or maintained, etc
