We are proud to say that over 90% of the forestry activities undertaken by WFN are contracted to WFN members or other First Nations.

It was important to Westbank First Nation to secure a long term tenure such as the Community Forest to ensure that our experienced loggers could work close to home. Some of our members have been working in the woods for four generations.

In addition, working close to home has provided an opportunity for the next generation to work in the logging industry.

Our contracting companies provide us with a full range of services including:

     • Harvesting
     • Road construction
     • Log hauling
     • Professional and technical field support
     • Silviculture services

In addition, the WFN-CF has provided an opportunity for WFN members studying forest management in university to apply their skills on their traditional lands on behalf of the WFN membership.
