Meet the Team

Blair Hunter, B.S.F., RPF
FOUNDER
Blair is the founder and owner of HAF Forest Services. He is a Registered Professional Forester with a degree from UBC and an education from the bush. After over a decade working for licensees including Western Forest Products and Interfor, he realized that the most promising experienced forester workers were relegated to a desk, leaving a shortage of high quality personnel in the field. HAF Forest Services was founded to provide high quality and high-production services, supported by carefully selected employees.

Marco Rowan, B.S.F. (Hons.), RPF
PARTNER, PROJECT MANAGER
Marco started his forestry career as a treeplanter in the Kootenays before going to UBC for Forest Resource Management. He worked for Interfor for 5 years before joining Blair at HAF in 2017 and hasn’t looked back. He believes that honesty and integrity are the foundations of a good life and that work/life balance are key to a long and satisfying career in fieldwork.
