Equis Forest Products Limited
Equis is a joint venture company between Pat McKay of Franklin Forest Products and the Tseshaht First Nation. It was created to acquire a 15 year non-replaceable forest license in the Cataract Lake area. A forest license is a tenure on Crown Land authorizing timber harvesting rights and includes forestry management, a planned harvest, the actual harvesting, and the replanting/reforesting of the land.

Tseshaht IR Lands
Tseshaht owns 1650 acres of IR Lands containing approximately 153,000 M3 of timber. These lands are managed for recreation, cultural heritage, residential, commercial and forestry purposes. A forest management plan has been prepared with a five-year planned harvest of approximately 40,000 M3 or 25% of the total volume. This plan will provide a revenue base for the Tseshaht people and will ensure the forestland is managed for new growth on a sustainable basis.
