Industries We Serve


Over the past 35 years, our skills, expertise and equipment have been put to use for clients in virtually every industry that requires access and environmental services. Many of those clients have been with us from the start, and stay with us because they know we deliver exceptional service and results.



Our Story



Bear Access and Environmental started with the goal offering environmentally friendly access and clearing services. For us that meant saving trees where we could, logging salvageable trees and eliminating the need for expensive reclamation efforts.

Along the way, our founder Danny Dion constantly looked for ways to embrace new standards, utilize more advanced equipment and uphold the highest standards for safety and efficiency. It’s this commitment that has made Bear Access and Environmental the leader of access, mulching, line clearing, site clearing and logging services.

As industries evolve – and client needs change – we will continue to expand our expertise and equipment so that our clients can always look to us for safe, effective, environmentally responsible solutions.

Partnerships



We know that how you work with people is just as important as how well you work with equipment. Bear strives to build and maintain meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with the communities where we operate. This helps us understand local culture and customs and ensures the work we do benefits the local economy.

Bear encourages participation and recruitment from within the communities where we work, promoting economic sustainability that will last far beyond the project. As part of these efforts, we provide skilled and qualified Indigenous peoples with positions in our operations, helping them develop marketable and industry recognized skills, which may lead to enhanced employment opportunities.

We are proud to be an active member of the Northern Alberta Aboriginal Business Association.

Environmental

Bear takes pride in creating and delivering environmental solutions that help projects move ahead efficiently and responsibly.

Projects – much like nature – have a predictable life cycle. Getting things started off right makes sure the work that follows yields the best possible results. From evaluating potential sites, water management strategies, soil excavation and fire prevention, to reclamation and restoration, we do it all. And Bear makes sure every step of the process is planned and executed to minimize environmental impact, solve challenges and ensure efficiency.

Our environmental services include:

Remediation – Our experience in the clean-up of contaminated sites ensures your project meets all regulatory requirements and closes sites off efficiently and effectively. This includes a full range of landfill services such as such as excavation, hauling and backfilling.

Reclamation – We’re experienced in restoring disturbed land to its natural state at the end of any construction project. From vegetation and erosion control, to soil replacement, hydro seeding and gravel supply, we get things back to the way they’re supposed to be.
