Responsible Forestry

Hillcore’s forestry platform is built on the principle that environmental responsibility and long-term economic value are not mutually exclusive—they are mutually reinforcing. Our integrated forestry investments span the full value chain, from harvesting and processing to bioenergy and sustainable product innovation.

Our Investment Focus

We specialize in vertical integration and the expansion of operations in:

  • Forestry & Logging
  • Sawmills & Value Added Forest Products
  • Pulp & Paper, OSB Panels, and Wood Chips
  • Bio Mass, Bio Fuel Co-Generation, and Community Heating

 


 
Comprehensive Forestry Management

At Hillcore, we manage all phases of forestry operations, from harvesting to deep sea shipping. Our approach is led by a team of qualified forestry professionals committed to sustainability, community development, and long-term planning. We uphold values deeply rooted in environmental stewardship and resource preservation for the benefit of future generations.

 


 

Leaders in Sustainable Practices

In 2019, Hillcore acquired Lakeside Pacific Forest Products Ltd., significantly expanding our footprint in British Columbia’s forestry sector. Lakeside continues to exemplify best-in-class sustainable fibre practices and remains fully aligned with Hillcore’s commitment to the most stringent forest management standards. Today, Hillcore’s Sustainable Forestry Group manages a substantial allowable annual cut and successfully achieved its 2023 target of harvesting 1.5 million cubic meters—a milestone that reinforces our long-term growth strategy in sustainable forest resource management.
