About

Herb Martin Has over 30 years experience in the forest industry, ranging from treeplanter, brusher, silviculture contractor, and logging supervisor.  He has worked in Northern Ontario and British Columbia.

James Steidle Grew up south of Prince George in the bush and worked as a treeplanter for 3 years and in Clear Lake Sawmills for 4 years.  He currently runs a woodworking company and works with aspen wherever he can.

Condy Shares Was raised on a crop, beef and draft horse farm in rural Ontario where he would also selectively cut trees and pull them out with the help of the horses to heat their home.  This instilled great discipline, hard work and a love for “the land” while also teaching him to stand up for himself.  Condy has lived on his own since the age of 15 and has immersed himself into a life spontaneity.  He currently runs the Stop the Spray BC instagram page and is keen to help educate and inspire others.
