Ian Kirby, Woodlot Forester
My Day
Some flexibility
I try to handle requests as promptly as possible but forests don't grow or disappear overnight.
If a landowner comes to me in February and says he's interested in forest management for his low -lying 160 acres of a ravine along the Assiniboine River, I remind him no forest management activities could go on until the access is more user-friendly. There's not a single logging contractor who can log in three feet of snow on steep banks.
