Cypress Creek Logging, led by Jared Douglas and family, is proud to announce the acquisition of Dyer Logging, a respected and long-standing forestry company based in Sayward, British Columbia.

Through his unwavering commitment, Ted has provided stable employment and paycheques to generations of local workers, helping hundreds of families build their lives right here in the North Island. His legacy of hard work, integrity, and community care will always be respected.
