Established in 1995, Northwood Logging began as a small regional harvesting contractor with a clear mission: deliver measurable productivity improvements through expert coaching and sustainable practice.
Over the following decades, we developed a world-class liaison program built on the best practices of logging experts from across United States and internationally. Today, Northwood Logging provides coaching services to more than 500 operators annually — from small harvesting contractors to some of the largest multibillion-dollar international grower companies.
Every company that has made the decision to be best-in-class has engaged our program, achieving an average of 30% productivity improvement after the first phase, with continued gains through follow-up coaching.
Our mission is simple: partner with forest companies and contractors to raise the bar on safety, productivity, and environmental stewardship — simultaneously, not in trade-off.
Safe
Safety is the first priority on every engagement, without exception.
Sustainable
We manage with a long view — protecting the forest for future generations.
Measurable
Every engagement sets baselines and tracks improvement in concrete terms.
Collaborative
We work closely with operators, supervisors, and management at every level.
Forest Stewardship Council certification across all managed operations.
Full adherence to all provincial and federal health and safety regulations.
Programs built on verified international harvesting best practices.
We respectfully acknowledge that our operations take place on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples who have been stewards of these lands since time immemorial. We are committed to improving our relationships with Indigenous communities and honouring their historical and ongoing connection to the land through meaningful engagement and sustainable forest management.
