SYLVIS is a specialist environmental firm with one focus, one mission, and over 35 years of results.
SYLVIS was founded in 1989 on a simple belief: residuals are not waste – they are resources. When properly managed, these materials deliver measurable environmental value, creating opportunities that extend far beyond disposal.
For more than 35 years, SYLVIS has specialized exclusively in beneficial residuals management, combining applied research, environmental science, regulatory expertise, and operational management into one focused discipline. Through projects across Western Canada, SYLVIS has helped shape how beneficial residuals management is understood and delivered.
The industry, regulations, and science have evolved, but our focus has remained the same: providing specialized, science-based residuals management solutions that create long-term environmental and operational value. That depth of expertise continues to define SYLVIS and the work we deliver.

We focus on understanding the challenges first. Sound decisions come from science and experience in the field. We develop solutions that work, execute them properly, and keep moving forward.
We work collaboratively with clients, landowners, regulators, communities, and industry partners because successful residuals management depends on shared goals and collective action.
Applied research isn’t an add-on at SYLVIS. It is how we stay ahead of the science and help shape the regulations and best practices that govern the industry.
How the work is done matters. From field operations to technical reporting to client relationships, we hold ourselves to a high standard of professionalism, quality, and accountability in every project we deliver.
SYLVIS is an active member of leading industry associations that help shape best practices across the sector. These connections keep us engaged with evolving standards, and ensures our work remains aligned with industry leadership and innovation. We are proudly affiliated with:
