Recon Forestry offers a range of forestry services, see below for more details.
Cutblock & Road Development
With both present operations and future outcomes in mind, Recon plans cutblocks and road development with a strong understanding of conventional, cable, and helicopter harvesting systems. Layouts are designed to suit site conditions, terrain, and access requirements while accounting for operational constraints and efficiencies. Our approach balances immediate operational needs with long-term goals, safety, and sustainable forest management, ensuring each plan supports practical field execution today and well-planned, resilient operations into the future.
Riparian Assessments
Stream classifications are one of the most important and detail-driven tasks in forestry. We take them seriously, making it our priority to correctly assess riparian areas and ensure they’re protected through careful planning, clear documentation, and a practical understanding of BC forestry requirements.
Timber Cruising
Good timber cruising comes down to doing the basics right. We focus on accurate measurements, consistent methods, and clean, easy-to-use reporting so the results actually help you make decisions. Our approach is practical, efficient, and built around the standards BC forestry professionals expect in the field and in the office.
Timber Value Evaluation
Recon provides timber value evaluation for private landowners to support informed planning and development decisions, even when formal appraisal is not required. Using field experience, species knowledge, and site-specific conditions, we assess timber characteristics and relative value to help guide layout, access planning, and harvest strategy. These evaluations are intended to improve efficiency, reduce uncertainty, and support responsible management of forest value over both the short and long term.
GIS Mapping
Recon’s in-house GIS capabilities allow us to deliver clear, accurate mapping to support every stage of forestry operations. From early reconnaissance and timber cruising through cutblock layout, road development, and harvest plan maps, we produce practical, field-ready products that support efficient execution. Mapping services include cutblock and road plan maps, access layouts, harvest plan maps, and LiDAR-derived products where available, all built to reflect site conditions and meet the expectations of BC forestry professionals.
