Focused on the forest we leave behind

With more than 30 years of experience in the forests of North Park, Don Ewy has developed expertise in careful logging using mechanized equipment and alternative measures.
Don is sought out by public land managers as well as private landowners when high-quality work is required. He assists landowners with a wide variety of forest work. His technique can improve future forest product yields while retaining aesthetic qualities.
For ten years, Don worked in the forests of the Front Range during a Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic. That experience prepared him well for the outbreak we are now facing in North Park. His many years of experience fighting wildland fires (Ewy is currently the Gould Battalion Chief of North Park Fire Rescue) also gives him a unique perspective when creating defensible space and burning slash piles.

Don performs his work with the next generation in mind, whether it be the next generation of trees or the next generation of clients. He expects his work to withstand the test of time and completes projects to the high standards that longevity demands.
His long experience in the woods of North Park has taught him that the right equipment used in a thoughtful manner assures the best results. Therefore he still uses a chainsaw for felling and a small bulldozer for skidding, piling logs and managing brush piles. Larger equipment would not allow him to meet the quality objectives that he wants for his clients.
For the past two years he has incorporated draft animals into his work when conditions or landowners demand the results that this obtains.
 
Landowners often know their land well. When it comes to forest work, they frequently have requirements for how the work is to be done to preserve the forest values they hold most dear. Don prides himself on addressing the concerns of his clients while completing projects in the most time and cost-effective way, leaving a forest behind that his clients can continue to enjoy.

Ewy Construction

In addition to logging and forest restoration work Don is also available for construction projects. He focuses on exterior projects and enjoys using rough-cut lumber or logs. Buck-and-rail fence, gates and decks are specialties. Moveable livestock sheds are also available.
