Forteck

The new year is well underway, and 2026 marks 10 years in business for Forteck.

We’re grateful for the trust of our clients and partners this past decade, and proud to continue providing forestry and environmental services that deliver quality and efficient results for decades to come.

It’s that time of year again — the brush is at its peak! 🌿 Late summer brings unique challenges for our field crews, including thick vegetation, limited visibility, and plenty of resistance on every step of the journey. Just ask our hardworking (and very cute) team member pictured here 🐶.

At Forteck, safety is always top of mind. If you’re out in the field, remember to move with care, stay hydrated, dress in layers, and keep an eye on your footing.

Berry season is in full swing here in Northwestern Canada, and one standout species is the Velvetleaf Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtilloides).

This fire-adapted native shrub thrives in disturbed environments such as cutblocks and post-wildfire areas. Thanks to an extensive underground rhizome system, it can quickly regenerate after fire or harvesting, taking advantage of open sunlight and reduced competition from overstory vegetation.

At Forteck, we understand the vital role resilient species like Velvetleaf Blueberries play in forest regeneration and ecosystem recovery. As part of our commitment to sustainable forestry and environmental stewardship, we recognize and support the natural processes that help landscapes heal and thrive.
