Stump To Dump Logging for over 40 years
Holbrook Dyson Logging
HDL is an award-winning logging company on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Our expertise in west coast logging is unparalleled.
HOLBROOK DYSON LOGGING IS A STUMP-TO-DUMP INDEPENDENT LOGGING CONTRACTOR ON NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND
HDL employs approximately 50 people and contractors to conduct falling, yarding, loading, hauling, road maintenance, roadside brushing, and road construction operations. Our company is also capable of dry land sorting and log booming. In addition to its contract with Western Forest Products, HDL harvests timber and constructs roads for other licensees and successful bids directly with BC Timber Sales.
HDL was incorporated in 1979 to provide log-harvesting services for Canadian Forest Products’ Englewood Division (Canfor), on TFL 37. Holbrook Dyson Logging changed ownership in 2003 through a share purchase by the Alm-Wood Group. This group has considerable experience ranging from timber development to log marketing on the coast of British Columbia.
Since Western Forest Product’s takeover of TFL 37 in 2006, Holbrook Dyson Logging has also become part of Western Forest Product’s Chain of Custody Sustainable Forestry (SFI) certification. In addition, Holbrook Dyson Logging complies with Western Forest Products and BC Timber Sales’ Environmental Management Systems (EMS). Holbrook Dyson Logging is a SAFE Certified Company with the BC Forest Safety Council.
Through its relationship with Canfor and then Western Forest Products (WFP), Holbrook Dyson Logging meets the International Standards Organization (ISO 14001) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Z809) requirements.
HDL also performs harvesting and road-building services for Atli Resources LP, a Namgis First Nation tenure in the Nimpkish Valley.
HDL respectfully acknowledges that our operations are located on the traditional territories of the Namgis, Mowachaht/Muchalaht, K’ómoks, Tlowitsis, We Wai Kum, and Kwakiutl First Nations.

Rolling out with a full load on Vancouver Island 🚛🌲 — these trucks don’t just haul logs, they help carry the weight of local economies.
From mill jobs to small-town businesses, forestry keeps a lot of wheels turning around here.
What’s your connection to the industry? Whether you’re behind the wheel or grew up in a logging town, we’d love to hear your story. 👇

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟖 - 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Today, we bow out heads for the loggers who never made it home.
Fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, and coworkers - gone too soon from a job they gave their all to.
Logging is more than a career - its a way of life. But it is also one of the most dangerous jobs out there. Behind every tee felled is a worker who puts everything on the line. And sometimes, that cost is unbearably high.
We remember them not just with silence, but with purpose - by fighting for safer practices, better protection, and a future where no family has to get that call.
𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝. 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠.

The grapple yarder’s swinging logs in, and the log loader’s stacking them up—teamwork at its finest.
Steep ground, long pulls, and big timber—just another day in the woods! 🌿🚜

📸 Some great photos from back in the day from Charlie Forrester
He says “2260 with a load of boomsticks at the Vernon reload. The truck is fully chained up because freezing rain was coming down. It was so slippery I could barely walk around. We still drove though” 🥶❄️
Talk about nerves of steel these talented guys have 💪
Thanks for the photos Charlie!
