A Direct Tahltan & Nisga'a Partnership
Wild Timber Industries operates in direct partnership with the Tahltan and Nisga'a Nations. Here is what that means for your project and for the communities we work in.
Wild Timber Industries is an Indigenous-partnership forestry contractor headquartered in Iskut, BC, in Tahltan territory. Our partnership with the Tahltan and Nisga'a Nations is not a footnote or a logo on a slide. It shapes how we plan work, who we hire, and the standards we hold ourselves to on every project across British Columbia and Alberta.
For the mining companies, utilities, and government programs we work for, that partnership matters twice: once on the ground, where local knowledge can inform planning and access discussions, and once in procurement, where Indigenous participation requirements vary by buyer and project.
Partnership you can
see on the ground.
This is how the partnership shows up in day-to-day work, from planning through demobilization.
Local knowledge and access
We are based in Iskut and know the ground our clients work on: the terrain, the seasons, and the communities along the way.
Respect for traditional territories
We plan work with respect for the territories we operate in and approach community engagement and access discussions directly.
Project-specific participation
Any local hiring, training, or community-benefit commitment is confirmed against the project scope and buyer requirements.
For procurement teams
If your RFP includes Indigenous-participation or community-benefit requirements, send us the requirement language with your scope. We can explain how the partnership, current workforce, and proposed scope fit it.
Send us the requirement language with your scope and we will tell you straight how the partnership, current workforce, and proposed scope fit it. The fit depends on the buyer's RFP and project structure; this page is not a certification or a guarantee that a project meets a buyer's Indigenous-participation threshold.
