District of Fort St. James

Our group of companies has provided forest management, project management, and operational services for the Fort St. James Community Forest since its inception in 2001. Over the course of the last 20 years, we were successful in helping the District of Fort St. James increase the size of its Community Forest from 8,400 cubic meters of sustainable harvest to 33,115 cubic meters. These ongoing operations continue to generate substantial financial and social benefits for the community. We value our close ties with Fort St. James and are committed to its ongoing success and of the people who live there.

Nak’azdli First Nation and the Nak’azdli Development Corporation are partners with KDL Resources on two forest license opportunities in the Mackenzie and Fort St. James forest districts, totaling to 132,500 cubic meters of allowable annual cut. Nak’azdli and KDL have been working on forestry opportunities together since 2017, collaborating on harvesting operations and equipment operation and management. Together, KDL and Nak’azdli have also developed the Forestry Tech Bridging Program which provides training and brings community members into forestry professions. We look forward to an ongoing and positive relationship with Nak’azdli Whut’en.

Yekooche and KDL ratified their Co-Management and Partnership Agreement in 2019. The Yekooche First Nations Woodlands Tenure has an Allowable Annual Cut of 39,667 cubic meters within the core territory of the Nation which is an important part of the YFN economic development strategy. Yekooche members and leadership are actively involved in the management and governance of this partnership and license. Together, we continue to move forward and make progress on Yekooche’s forestry business.

Binche Whut’en

Binche Whut’en and the Binche Keyoh Development Corporation have partnered with K&D Logging to form Nukene Contracting, which focuses on Forest Sector opportunities and works in road maintenance and earthworks with a grader. Meraki proudly participates with Binche as the largest sponsor of the Binche Fishing Derby; we applaud Binche for building this event into what it is today.

Tsay Keh Dene

Tsay Keh Dene and Chu Cho Forestry have had an ongoing and successful forestry partnership with our organization since 2014. The team collaborates on a wide range of forestry opportunities in the Mackenzie Forest District, often in excess of 200,000 cubic meters per year. We are excited to continue working with Tsay Keh and Chu Cho Forestry as they grow and increase their activities while pursuing opportunities in the Territory.

Wet’suwet’en First Nation

The Yinka Dene Economic Development Corporation and Meraki have partnerships on a range of opportunities spanning forestry, civil construction, and professional services. We are in the final steps of creating Sus Cho Resources LP, a partnership that will pursue forestry opportunities for WFN. We are inspired by YLP’s desire to increase economic prosperity and employment opportunities for their members and we look forward to a bright future working together.
