Woodlot owners manage one of Nova Scotia's greatest resources,
our forests. On April 12, Department of Natural Resources staff
will host a seminar on managing this valuable forest resource
wisely.
Several topics pertaining to woodlot owners will be discussed,
including ATV use, low impact forestry options and updates on the
provincial forest strategy. This session is part of the
department's ongoing education initiatives for woodlot owners on
how to effectively and sustainably manage their property.
"This seminar is designed specifically with the woodlot owner in
mind with the objective of providing information on real-life
topics in an accessible manner," said Natural Resources Minister
Tim Olive.
For those unable to attend the one-day seminar, the department
offers a woodlot management home study program online or through
the mail. Individuals decide which topic they want to study and
proceed at their own pace.
