#ForestryFamilies Video 1 – The Vanderwells

Posted by AFPA | September 27, 2018

We are excited to launch our #ForestryFamilies social media campaign. Alberta’s forestry families have a rich history. Their dedication to the community and passion for our forests have helped to ensure a sustainable industry for generations of Albertans.

In the first video we profile the Vanderwell family from Slave Lake. Their company, Vanderwell Contractors, is celebrating 75 years of successful operations. Learn how their love for each other and commitment to their employees has kept the business going for three generations.

Visit our Twitter and Facebook pages to follow along with the campaign.
