About Us

Our Story

SBS Forestry was founded in 1987 by James Wylie – the company’s first president. For the first few years, SBS was based out of James’ home as it grew and he gained employees. Before long, SBS Forestry had established a strong reputation for affordable multiphase forest development consulting services. In 1989, Andre Stauble joined as senior partner. In 2008, Bill Wade purchased James’ and Andre’s shares, taking on the role of principal partner.

As SBS continued to grow, longtime employees Hans Rasmussen, Doug Bryce, Blaine Tallman, and John Annis joined the employee ownership group. Their dedication to our clients continues to be integral to the day-to-day-operations of this great organization.

Today, SBS Forestry is a proud employee and Indigenous-owned company. Sasuchan Development Corporation joined the SBS Forestry ownership group in 2018, taking over the role of principal partner from Bill Wade. Sasuchan’s management team – VP Tom Lewis and CEO Steve Nycholat – bring deep experience in the forestry and consulting, contracting sectors with a focus on client service, organizational and people development.
