What Our Clients Have to Say

Stinson Aerial has been a project leader on several multi-phase logging operations in the capacity of project manager and consultant.  Stinson was very accommodating toward the success of the projects by using a collaborative approach with all stakeholders in the supply chain – from tree to customer. Their strong forestry and aviation operations background combined with a focus on safety, environment, First Nation engagement and maximizing timber value, all led to successful projects. I would have no hesitation to work with or recommend Stinson for any forestry project, especially when it comes to an innovative and lateral application to forestry management.
