About Us

Our Story

From Humble Roots to Regional Leader

In 2011, Daniel Humes founded the company after years of hands-on forestry work in Canada and the United States, with a mission to harvest responsibly while protecting long-term forest health.

Originally from Canada, Daniel brought Canadian stewardship practices and a modern, safety-first approach to every job site. From day one, the goal has been the same: sustainable harvests that preserve the land for the future.

Over the last 15 years, the company has grown from a small field crew into a trusted regional partner, but our core values haven't changed. We still believe that good business and good stewardship go hand in hand.

Today, Daniel continues to lead day-to-day operations, investing in technology and sustainable practices that ensure healthy forests for years to come.
