Wilderness Infrastructure
The tools, abilities and person-power of Loki Tree Service have been enjoyed by wilderness-oriented clients ever since the company’s inception. Our experience includes mountain bike trails and stunts, boardwalks, water crossings, outhouses, creek-fed water systems, heli-pads and more.
Our building techniques rarely employ machinery. Hand-tools, chainsaw accessories, and mental fortitude are the equipment of the remote builder. It is part of our overall mandate to follow the best environmental practices possible, but we take extra care in our remote area operations. We have contracted for National and BC Parks, as well as conducted work in riparian and endangered species areas. Our light handed approach and commitment to best practices has always been appreciated by our clients.
From yurts and tree-houses to river crossings and heli-pads, if you are working in the back-country, Loki Tree can help.
Loki Tree Service uses the following best practice guidelines for all operations:
– Certified, experienced Danger Tree Assessors (UNBC) and Urban Tree Risk Assessors (ISA) mark for removal only trees that are actually dangerous. The old model of “cut all the snags” is out-dated and unnecessary. Valuable wildlife habitat and beautiful old specimens are often retained.
– Use of vegetable based bar oil in chainsaws.
– Use of mats during refueling of power tools. Spill kits and response plan on board all trucks.
– Option of using resources harvested on-site for construction material where appropriate.
– WHIMIS and TDG trained staff.
– Archaeological and environmental awareness training for all staff.
