Philosophy
Hybrid 17 is a small company, and we like it that way.
Our focus has always been on paying good money to plant quality trees, and to create a respectful, fun, and inclusive community every single season.
History
Hybrid 17 Contracting Ltd. has been in operation since 1999. The company was purchased by owners Lasse Lutick and Sarah Winsor from Toni Lutick, Lasse's mom.
Toni planted under the name Forestcraft prior to 1999, and Lasse and Sarah were active in supervising the contract for quite a few years before forming Hybrid 17.
The last 35 seasons of Hybrid 17/Forestcraft planting have been mainly preferred bid or direct award contracts in the Smithers to Burns Lake Corridor, British Columbia.
Lasse started planting when he was 12, has been a crewboss for 11 seasons, a co-owner of Hybrid 17 with Sarah since 1999, and a supervisor starting in 2004. Sarah planted for 5 seasons and was a supervisor for 9 seasons.
