Tsi Del Del Enterprises Ltd will be one of four companies featured in Season 2 of the television series “Timber Titans.”
A gripping documentary that takes audiences deep into the heart of BC’s forest industry through the real stories of loggers, truckers, machine operators, and foresters working in some of Canada’s most challenging terrains.
Executive and Series Producer Greg Laikin said the show highlights how the industry that built BC is in a state of transformation.
“Timber Titans are people who are innovative and trying to approach logging and forestry in new ways with the environment and the forest being the priority.”
Percy Guichon CEO of Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd (CCR) the joint venture that contracts Tsi Del Del Enterprises said “We were surprised when the team from Timber Titans reached out to ask to film the work of our crews to rehabilitate large areas of the Cariboo Chilcotin after wildfire.”
Laikin said they did kind of a search and landed with Tsi Del Del and what they’re doing is amazing.
“They have the CCR side of it as well. They’re kind of a machine based logging operation. We like the machines but really what they’re doing is they’re clearing and rehabbing the land and growing new forest, it’s just amazing.” Laikin said, “Something that we always heard from them is we don’t have to cut green wood. There’s some much burnt forest, so much salvage out there and we (Timber Titans) found that fascinating.”
Supervising and Executive Producer Karen Melvin said they had a great time with the Tsi Del Del Enterprises.
“We show up at the beginning of their work day, put mics on everyone, and we are with them from sun up to sun down. Sometimes during fire season they’re working an early shift, it could be 3 am or 5 am, it’s really documentary style, we’re not setting up anything. I think in the beginning they were like wow what did we sign for but then they got to know our crew, got to know us and learned to trust us that we were making this really authentic true show.”
Guichon said they spent weeks with the film crew.
“I hope that viewers will see the work we are doing and gain a greater appreciation for the tremendous effort of our team of professionals from loggers and truckers to machine operators and foresters.”
CCR and Tsi Del Del Enterprises crews will be featured in Episode 3 on August 26 and Episode 5 on September 9 on USA Network streaming the following day on Crave.
