Ecological Forestry for Beginners: A Workshop Series for New Forest Stewards
Have you recently purchased or inherited woodland and want to know more about ecological forest management? Have you owned land for many years but need help taking that first step towards active management? Don’t have woodland, but want to know more about our native Wabanaki-Acadian Forest? We can help!
NSWOOA will be hosting a series of introductory workshops across the province this fall and winter on topics including: Ecological Forestry, Biodiversity & Species at Risk, Boundary Lines, Forest Carbon, Mi’kmaq Perspectives on Forest Stewardship, Taxation and Inheritance, and Working with Forest Professionals.
More information about each event and registration links will be posted below as details are confirmed. Check back often!
Financial support for this workshops series is provided by the NS Department of Natural Resources and Renewables.
Pre-registration is required for all events.
