Maintaining a healthy residual forest is key to any new development. Windfirming and tending to these
forest edges can be a key treatment in maintaining aesthetics and more importantly, avoiding
windthrow events during storm cycles. In many ways, windfirming is one of the cornerstones of our tree
climbing division. IOG’s combined experience includes hundreds of kilometers of windfirming along
forest edges across BC’s coast through both urban and commercial forestry settings. Whether you have
15m second-growth along a newly cleared subdivision or 100m westcoast old-growth along the edge of
a new cutblock, we can design and execute a program that is right for you and your work setting.
