Forest Thinning
At New West Contracting, we specialise in expert forest thinning services across Calgary, Red Deer, Okotoks, Sundre, and throughout Central Alberta.
By carefully removing overcrowded, weak, or unhealthy trees, we promote stronger forests, reduce wildfire risks, and support healthier ecosystems.
Healthy forests don’t happen by accident. Without proper management, overcrowded trees compete for water, sunlight, and nutrients, making the entire stand vulnerable to disease, pests, and fire.
Our tree thinning services offer a proactive solution by:
Selectively removing weaker or poorly spaced trees
Enhancing overall forest health and biodiversity
Reducing fuel loads to minimise wildfire hazards
Fire break creation and targeted clearing zones
Promoting stronger, wind-resistant tree stands
In areas like Red Deer and Okotoks, proactive wildfire prevention thinning is critical.

Whether you’re managing private land, commercial property, or municipal reserves, our team designs thinning plans that promote both safety and forest longevity.
