Nova Scotia launched its High Production Forestry Phase II Guidance for Implementation

Posted on January 23, 2023   |  

The Province of Nova Scotia is launching a new vision for forest management on Crown lands, focusing on a paradigm shift for sustainable forest management, using nature as the building block for decisions about the maintenance of all values associated with the forest. 

These values contain biodiversity, forest products like timber, ecological services, and cultural values like recreation.

The Department of Natural Resources and Renewables is enforcing this new vision which originates from “An Independent Review of Forest Practices in Nova Scotia” (Lahey, 2018).

This two-year, in-depth review of forestry practices, which included consultation with stakeholders and the general public, provided recommendations for transforming Nova Scotia’s forest management approach on Crown land.
