Torrent Silviculture was started in 2006 by Davin Green. We are based out of Quesnel B.C. and primarily work in the Cariboo/ Chilcotin region. Our mission as a company is to provide a safe and lucrative work environment for people of all ages and experience levels. We like to encourage taking pride in our work and a job well done while having a good time. Torrent began as a tree planting company, but has evolved over the past 17 years to offer more work opportunities in silviculture, fire fighting, and safety services.
Torrent strives to hire all levels of experience and ages for its planting operations. New workers are integral for the industry, and by incorporating them into our company it provides an element of sustainability for future seasons. We believe there are many advantages to having a diverse range of experience throughout our crews. Our more experienced workers are able to share knowledge that you can only get in the field with less experienced workers, ultimately helping to create a more safe and ready workforce. By promoting diversity within our crews, we hope to create an environment which prompts curiosity and open dialogue, where everyone can learn something new from each other.
While silviculture has a reputation as a summer job for college or university students that helps pay for their education, it has become a career for many of our employees. Due to its high paying work it can provide stability, community, and an ever-changing work environment for those involved. Torrent also offers post-planting work such as fire work, medic work, brushing, and slash pile burning. Silviculture as an industry is constantly changing, but one thing that is constant is its draw to creative, hardworking individuals who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
Torrent is a SAFE-certified company, meeting and exceeding the industry’s highest safety standards. Through our training, dedicated crew bosses and supervisors, and in-depth anti-harassment training, we pride ourselves on creating a safe space for all genders, sexual orientations, races, and religions.
