About
Forestry & Logging Guide is an independent guide for Canadian forestry, logging, sawmill, and tree-planting workers, not affiliated with any forestry employer or contractor; it pays for itself through affiliate links to provincially regulated gambling operators, disclosed below.
It covers pay, hiring, certification, seasons, and camp life for people who work in the bush and the mill. We are not affiliated with West Fraser, Canfor, J.D. Irving, Interfor, Resolute, Domtar, Western Forest Products, TimberWest, or any other forestry employer or contractor.
Alongside industry content, we compare provincially regulated online gambling operators for readers who choose to gamble off-shift. See our affiliate disclosure and responsible gambling pages for the full detail on how that works and what tools are available if it becomes a problem. See how to check an operator's registration yourself.
