Great North Forestry has been an industry pioneer in the sustainable and responsible development of timber resources in the Far North.
Recognizing the unique conditions, ecologies and life cycles of northern forests, Great North has developed sustainable and economically viable long-term harvesting practices. Leading the industry in the silviculture strategies of rotational parcel harvesting, small cut lots and waste wood reduction; Great North's innovative practices minimize impacts on flora and fauna, ensuring healthy and productive forests for generations to come.
Great North's main logging areas are located in Southwest Yukon, supplying the large Whitehorse market with smaller operations in the South Dempster and McQuesten Valley regions in central Yukon, which serve the rapidly expanding Dawson, Inuvik and Alaskan markets.
In addition to the growing demand for lumber products in regional markets, the current development of value added specialty products for the Asian & European markets indicate strong potential for the continued economic success and growth of Great North Forestry.
