Thirty years ago, Avison Management Services Ltd. began offering environmentally responsible services to the forest industry. Today the company still provides resource management through environmental leadership – but its scope has vastly expanded.

Their office is located in Vanderhoof - which, as the company points out, is the geographic centre of British Columbia. From there, they offer a broad spectrum of integrated land-based management services. Their clients come from many sectors, including forestry, agriculture, mining, oil and gas, wind power, environmental assessments and monitoring, and the public sector.

Adapting to emerging needs and business diversity are the two factors for achieving long-term success, says Stuart Sinclair, Avison’s president. The firm has three partners – Sinclair, Bill Laforge and Brian Frenkel – and 30 highly trained employees, including registered professional foresters, fisheries biologists, fish and wildlife technicians, forest technicians, GIS technicians and microstation technicians.

The company continues to venture into new endeavours, such as helping clients reduce their environmental impact through greenhouse gas verification and carbon offset projects.
