Providing comprehensive, professional, and environmentally sustainable resource management services, we create value for our partners on every project.

Tenure Management

KDL Resource Management has a proven track record in successful forestry related partnerships with a number of Community Forests, Woodlot owners and Indigenous communities. We have worked with Na’kazdli Whut’en First Nation, Tsay Keh Dene Nation, Wet’suwet’en First Nation and Yekooche First Nation, Fort St. James Community Forest and McLeod Lake Mackenzie Community Forest. At KDL Resource Management we value and pride ourselves on:

• Formal agreements with a long-term commitment – not just a “for service contract”
• True co-management with community input at every phase
• Investment of time and resources up front to ensure success
• Ensuring the inclusion of administration, planning, field work, marketing, sales, harvesting and all silviculture obligations
• The commitment to train and hire community members to help build capacity, knowledge and skills.

Indigenous Project Management Agreements

We are proud to support communities in building capacity and creating economic possibilities. Working with Wet’suwet’en First Nation and the Yinka Dene Economic Development Limited Partnership (YLP), KDL Resource Management and YLP have been awarded a number of forestry related projects on the Coastal Gas Link pipeline in Northern BC. These joint projects have helped build meaningful participation and create employment and economic opportunities for WFN.

Community Based Training & Employment

Our in-community, three-week Forestry Tech Bridging Program was developed to help students gain an understanding of the forestry skills required for entry level positions and what a career in forestry may entail. Students learned skills in: Planning, Layout and development, Harvesting, and Silviculture. From in class work to hands on, practical field training, graduates from this program are ready for employment with Meraki Resources.
