Holmsen Forestry Ltd. was established in
1976. We have conducted or participated in numerous
projects within North America,
as well as projects in more than 20 countries overseas. These projects
have been direct contracts with clients in the industry,
legal and accounting professionals, provincial or federal
governments; various international funding agencies, or
under subcontract to other forestry engineering firms.
Who we
are:
The principal of Holmsen
Forestry Ltd., Karsten Holmsen, started his
forestry education and practical experience in
Scandinavia in 1954. After emigrating to Canada in 1958
and earning a Bachelor of science degree in Forestry
(B.S.F.) from the University of British Columbia in 1961,
he accumulated an additional thirteen years of forestry
experience, several in senior forest industry positions
in western Canada. After two years as project manager of
a forestry operation in Kenya, East Africa, he returned
to British Columbia and formed his own consulting firm in
1976. Holmsen completed a Diploma Program in
Administration for Foresters and Engineers at the
University of British Columbia in 1982. While
projects are primarily undertaken on an individual basis,
other professionals and technicians are engaged as
sub-contractors as required for specific projects. Holmsen
Forestry Ltd. is closely associated with Juan
A. Tarbes., Forest Engineer, M.A., educated at
forestry faculties in Chile, Venezuela, Germany, and the
U.S.A., consulting from his headquarters in Los Angeles,
