What Spectrum Resource Group does

Spectrum Resource Group (SRG) is an integrated vegetation management (IVM) solutions provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in Prince George, British Columbia. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of field services spanning reforestation, industrial and invasive vegetation management, integrated forest management, urban forestry, wildfire risk reduction, utility asset management, and GIS/resource mapping. It serves federal, provincial, regional, local and Indigenous governments as well as the forestry, energy, mining, petroleum, transportation and utility sectors across Canada, with operations spanning from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island. Customer engagements are project-based, acquired through direct enterprise field sales and an online Request for Proposal process.

SRG operates field-deployed crews equipped with GPS technology, advanced mapping, and a proprietary Reforestation Management System (RMS) that provides quality and production control during large-scale planting operations. The company plans to plant an estimated 15 million trees during the 2026 spring and summer planting season across multiple locations including BC, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. Its workforce includes Registered Professional Foresters, Registered Professional Biologists, Foresters in Training, and Biologists in Training, supported by a seasonal planter base that maintains a 60-70% veteran ratio to ensure quality and mentorship on field deployments.

SRG is an employee-owned entity operating as a division of Wright Canada Holdings Ltd. (WCH), the Canadian arm of North American parent Wright Service Corp. WCH was formed in 2017 and groups SRG with sister companies Wright Tree Service of Canada, ArborCare, and CNUC of Canada, providing coast-to-coast service capability. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts; reforestation pricing is structured around per-tree rates (approximately $0.16-$0.40 base plus statutory and vacation pay) while commercial and government work is quote-based. The company has 51-100 employees and pursues an enterprise field sales motion via direct outreach, industry association memberships, and Indigenous community partnerships that strengthen its position on public-sector RFPs.
