Nelson, BC is known for its culture and creativity, but forestry plays a critical role in sustaining this community.

In this Forestry Community Profile, we hear from three local voices:
🌲 Kevin, Owner and General Manager of @mainjetmotorsports3319
🌲 Tom Thomson, Executive Director of @discovernelson3524
🌲 Ted Hall, Partner at @spearheadca

Forestry has a long history in the region, and it’s evolving.

Local companies like @spearheadca and @kalesnikoff are leading the shift toward value-added wood products, mass timber and modular construction, getting more out of every log while supporting sustainable practices.

That shift matters.

It creates local jobs, supports housing solutions and maximizes the value of the resource.

There are challenges ahead, but there’s also opportunity for communities like Nelson to lead with a more balanced approach to forestry.
