Wildwoods Reforestation Inc.
Since 1990

Wildwoods started in Ontario in 1990.  We worked on government contracts for 3 years on easy roadside jobs.  We went to Alberta to extend the season to spring and summer. The problem in Alberta is there are no roads just swamps and helicopters.  This was very difficult and exhilarating, I lost all the money I made in Ontario on my first Albert job.  In fact we were so ill prepared Wildwoods was fired, flown out on Coast Range’s back hauls and my Alberta career began.  I was immediately hooked by the challenge helicopters, risk, and real money to be made.  My next season was government contracts in Northern Alberta, and I’ve never looked back.  After years of punishing government contracts Wildwoods finally settled in High Level.  We have worked very hard to establish a relationship with 2 of the industries leading companies, Tolko Industries and LaCrete Sawmills. 

We plant the most trees of any company in Alberta, and the most trees for one camp in the country.  Wildwoods plants 9 - 13 million trees per season with 30-42 planters.  We run 7 planter crews and only hire planters with a minimum of 3 years experience.  We use 3 lightweight floating track machines with trailers and a long ranger helicopters to manage the difficult access of High Level.  We have worked for Tolko and LaCrete for ten years.  There are no harder or more rewarding contracts than High Level.
