In agreement
with the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources the Association
for Sustainable Forestry (ASF) will be delivering a funding program
focusing on the Category 7 treatments of the Forest Sustainability
Regulations. This program will be directed under the auspices of an
advisory committee co-chaired by the ASF and the Ecology Action
Centre. Funding has been allocated for Crop Tree Release, Crop Tree
Pruning, and Selection Management.
There has been $570,000.00
made available for these treatments
over the next two years, subject to
available funding.
The main objectives of this program are to increase the amount of
uneven-aged forest management for quality forest products on small
private woodlands across Nova Scotia and to increase awareness among
small private woodland owners and silviculture contractors of managing
woodlands on an uneven-aged basis.
This program will also include an outreach component to compliment the
on-the-ground work. Information will be made available through this
website as it is developed, so please check back regularly!
