CHANGES TO EARLY COMPETITION CONTROL/MANUAL WEEDING FUNDING
Due to current funding limitations and the focus on full planting as part of the Fiona Recovery process, we will be temporarily limiting ECC/Manual Weeding funding to recently planted areas. Any manual weeding for natural stands MUST be approved by ASF staff.
The Association for Sustainable Forestry is a progressive organization which provides small private woodland owners with the financial means to implement forest improvement work on their properties.
By taking a leading role in the principles and practices of Forest Stewardship, the Association works with silviculture contractors, woodland owner groups, and individuals to allocate and monitor the silviculture funds available through the provisions of the Nova Scotia Forests Act. Serving as a conduit between woodland owners and the forest industry, the Association is dedicated to ensuring the future health and enhancement of forests on privately owned woodlands.
