FORESTRY
Lemare has been providing full phase timber harvesting services to the British Columbia coastal forest industry since 1984. For nearly 40 years, the Lemare team has been driven by professional accountability. Our culture is defined by an overriding commitment to safety, environmental stewardship and consistently delivering value to our clients.
We are engaged in projects with partner organizations, clients, First Nations and communities throughout the region and North America. Our commitment to the environment and sustainable resource management is seen in our unparalleled professional experience, accountability and value assurances.
Lemare provides stable employment, training and career development opportunities, support for local communities, and collaborative management strategies. These are the hallmarks of our forestry operations and exemplify our commitment to our team, our strategic partners and the North Island community.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP & RECLAMATION: PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Lemare is committed to the health of the forest and the environment. Our team works with government, First Nations, licensees, community and private enterprise to ensure that our practices not only meet but also exceed government standards.
Lemare's fibre recovery strategies and ecosystem management plans are innovative and lead the industry. We have practical industry experience in fibre management and are pleased to engage with our community on the ideas emerging to maximize fibre use.
We are also proud of the environmental reclamation projects we execute to help restore ecosystem processes. Our team of natural resource professionals work to minimize and mitigate environmental impacts in all our operations.
