Silviculture Contracting

Brinkman’s core service for more than 35 years has been hands-on silviculture carried out by skilled workers at remote sites across Canada, treating 30,000 hectares per year. Each Brinkman division provides a full suite of services to a wide range of private forest land managers, crown land licensees, and government clients. Our success comes from a dedication to high quality, on time performance and a great employment experience for our workforce.

Although treeplanting remains a primary activity, our crews also perform thousands of hectares of browse protection, brushing, spacing, surveys, fire control, slash burning and precommercial thinning. In BC we also offer the unique service of taking on 100% of the legal liability to bring plantations to “free to grow” status, thus freeing forest product companies from this responsibility.

Our silviculture service focus is on:

• establishing and managing forest stands to maximize growth and performance for both timber and non-timber values
• restoring forest ecosystem dynamics to ensure long term ecological, social and economic sustainability

Brinkman has a history of practical innovation, including developing practical tools, techniques, operational systems, treatments and forest policy.
