Family Forest Network: A five-year project to bring ecologically sensitive 
management to smaller, privately owned woodlands in Nova Scotia

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 170 harvests and 75 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. 

If you are interested in the pilot or want to learn more about ecological forestry, sign up for more information at www.nswoods.ca/family-forest-network.html.
