About Sitka

Full Service forest health professionals

The name Sitka Silviculture has been synonymous with skilled and successful reforestation for 25 years. Paul Agnew brought Sitka Silviculture to Vancouver Island over ten years ago, and was joined, eight years later, by project manager Scott Lemkay. Our team has planted trees from the base of Mount Arrowsmith to the Beaufort Range, all the way to the open waters of the Broken Group Islands. We look forward to continued growth as Vancouver Island’s leading full service forest professionals as we expand to include wildfire management services, assisting private land owners in protecting their assets.
