Exceptional Job Opportunities at Family Forest Network
The Family Forest Network is a collaboration among 11 charitable, non-profit and co-operative organizations that seek to promote ecologically sensitive forest management on small, privately owned woodlands in Nova Scotia. The partners will conduct a five-year, $10.6 million project that aims to:
  • Develop a steward‐led network to address the key challenges of implementing ecologically sensitive forest practices;
  • Create a large‐scale pilot of approximately 192 harvests and 80 timber stand improvement treatments province-wide, to quantify and promote the benefits of innovation in forest management through the adoption of ecological forestry; and
  • Extend the reach of ecological forestry on family forestlands through integrated solutions and strategic partnerships. 

The network is currently filling several key positions, including supervising forest professional and network manager. The positions will report to the executive director of the Nova Scotia Woodlot Owners and Operators Association, which is sponsoring the project.

As an employee of NSWOOA, you will join an organization that has long been a leader in promoting environmentally centered, socially responsible, and economically balanced forestry for Nova Scotia. We believe that forest practices should mimic natural processes in the native Acadian/Wabanaki Forest, and we have been demonstrating our beliefs in the woods for more than 30 years. We were outspoken advocates for change at a time when the concepts of ecological forestry were ignored or scorned by most professionals.

For more information about the positions, please click on the job descriptions below. The positions will remain open until filled, but we expected to begin interviews very soon.
