ABOUT NELSON

It’s what you call uncommon ground. Nelson, British Columbia is one of only a few small North America communities that offers a unique mix of cosmopolitan big-city amenities and authentic small town charm. The surroundings are supernatural. The pace of life is laid back and forward thinking. And as it has for over a century, entrepreneurial spirit and resilience resonate from the shops of historic Baker Street to the traditional lands and bountiful backcountry of this place we all call home.

Harrop Procter Forest Products (HPFP), the milling division of the Harrop Procter Community Co-operative (HPCC), has been operating for over 20 years, sustainably managing approximately 11,000 hectares of community forest. This initiative not only provides high-quality products like Cedar Siding, Decking, Fir Flooring, and kiln-dried lumber but also ensures stable employment for around 12 local families.HPFP is one of the few community forests to operate its own sawmill, emphasizing watershed protection and a sustainable economy. The mill's recent membership with the Council of Forestry Industries (COFI) enables it to supply contractors with graded and stamped custom timbers for new builds.With a revitalization project funded by HPCC revenues and a grant from the BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund, the mill is set to enhance operations, improve waste utilization, and ensure worker protection. Proudly supporting the community, HPFP also contributes donations, complimentary firewood, and upgrades to local halls.We encourage everyone to support this incredible local business, and check them out for your lumber needs! ...
