Willow Ellsworth’s love for the outdoors inspired her to pursue a career in forestry… From BC Timber Sales she later joined the Ministry of Forests in the Authorizations department, working on road permits, cruising, and log scaling. In 2022, she obtained her Registered Forest Technologist designation and Interior Log Scaling license. Ellsworth started working with NorthPac in 2021 as a Forest Technologist and within a year transitioned to the role of Shipping Coordinator and finally Log Yard and Waste Supervisor. …“I am primarily involved in the Coast Tsimshian Resources LP and NorthPac’s fibre utilization project,” Willow noted. “Initially, we were shipping sawlogs via log cars to Dunkley, and the program has since expanded to introducing a chipper on site and shipping chips to Canfor in Prince George. FESBC funding has enabled NorthPac to haul pulp logs and small tops that are usually left to burn in the bush.”
