Healthy Soils - Healthy Woodlands Field Workshops

​Nova Scotia Forest Soils Field Days

NEW DATE: Saturday, October 22nd, 2022 at 10am-3pm
North Brookfield, Queens County

Eastern Region Forest Soils Field Day

Aspen, Guysborough County
​Meeting location to be determined following registration. Bring your own lunch.

This event is a follow up to the Healthy Soils - Healthy Woodlots webinar as part of MTRI's "Sit Back Seminar" Series.

Healthy soils are the foundation of healthy forests. The Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewables is collaborating on two new projects with researchers at the Halifax and Truro campuses of Dalhousie University to learn more about nutrients and organisms in forested soils across the province. Join soil experts from across the province and be prepared to get your hands dirty as we explore what makes healthy forest soil, how soil types differ in different forest stand types, how they may impact carbon storage, climate change resilience and stream water quality, and how to manage for healthy soils. 

Presenters:
  • Kevin Keys - Nova Scotia Natural Resources and Renewables 
  • David Burton - Centre for Sustainable Soil Management
  • John Rohde - Dalhousie University 
  • Edmund Halfyard - Nova Scotia Salmon Association​
