Silvacom - Ontario Forestry Services

The Ontario forestry sector is poised for growth. With the establishment of a forest sector strategy, the provincial government has placed a focused effort on increasing business opportunities within a sector that has seen significant reductions since 2000. This is great news, not only for the province but for global fiber demand; Canada has some of the highest environmental standards in the world so increased global consumption will be met with forest products that are managed sustainably.

Silvacom is your spatial wood supply expert and has resources in Ontario available to help solve your business challenges.

The complexity of forest management has increased significantly over the past decade with organizations now required to consider multiple opportunities and constraints. Examples include:

Managing a wood basket with increased pressures
Natural disturbance (fires, insects)
Caribou habitat considerations
New entrants into the market
Evaluating alternative business strategies
Meeting or exceeding environmental requirements
Species at risk
Extensive stakeholder engagement and Indigenous consultation

This complexity needs to be met with innovative approaches to forest management so that you have predictable woodflows today and the agility to respond to changing market conditions tomorrow. We bring proven consulting services and software solutions to the Ontario landscape. Whether it’s optimizing your existing forest management plan, solving a complex land management issue, or helping you minimize your data management with stakeholder engagement and cloud-based GIS solutions, we are up to the challenge.
