Peter Flett

Nk’Mip Forestry – Osoyoos Indian Band/West Boundary Community Forest

Peter grew up in Westbank in the Central Okanagan and has worked primarily in the southern interior of BC in silviculture, forest operations, and planning, with experience engaging and collaborating with First Nation communities, public stakeholders, and government. He enjoys implementing innovative projects on a diverse mix of tenures and land ownership types. As the Head of Forest Operations for the Osoyoos Indian Band’s forestry company, Nk’Mip Forestry LLP, and co-manager of the West Boundary Community Forest, Peter is a strong advocate for community-based forestry where management techniques benefit the land, the animals, and the local people. As a non-Indigenous person working for a First Nation, he deeply appreciates the opportunity to listen to, learn from, and build relationships with the OIB community.
