Family Forest Network: A five-year pilot project to bring ecologically sensitive 
management to smaller, privately owned woodlands in Nova Scotia
A collaboration among 10 charitable, non-profit, and co-operative organizations, the Family Forest Network (FFN) is conducting research and promoting ecological forestry practices on small, privately owned woodlands in Nova Scotia. Our five-year project aims to: 

  • Create a large-scale pilot of approximately 160 harvest and 40 silviculture treatments province-wide the quantity and promote the benefits of ecological forestry practices. 
  • Extend the reach of ecological forestry on family woodlands through integrated solutions and strategic partnerships. 
  • Develop a steward-led network to address the key challenges of implementing ecological forestry practices on small private woodlands.
