Seven years ago, Gary Lowe of Stoney Creek, Ontario was approached by his father-in-law to run and develop the family business, Winona Wood, a tree harvesting operation. After spending many years in the automotive sales industry, it was an opportunity for Lowe to try something new and grow the company for his family. At the time, Winona Wood’s services consisted of harvesting and selling firewood throughout Ontario. As Lowe immersed himself in the business and grew the operations, he quickly discovered the opportunity of land clearing and site preparation.
