Jacques Forestry began in 1974 with my father Thomas Jacques. My first memories of marking timber with my dad date back to 1990s when he would tell us what trees to mark, and he would tally. At age 12 I started tail sawing behind our wood mizer sawmill. At the age of 16, I hooked up the mill to my truck and started custom sawing for landowners with logs. in specializes in forest inventories and forest management planning to assist the landowners in meeting their goals and objective for their forestland.
