Nova Scotia's managed forests are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, but can also help to fight climate change by removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it. The Timber Management Group conducts research on climate change mitigation and adaptation in forestry. Contact the Forestry Division for more information or resources.

• The Nova Scotia Forest Carbon Calculator (NSFCC) can be used to calculate and project forest carbon estimates. To access the Web App, contact the Forestry Division.
• Be sure to consult the Research Report that accompanies the NSFCC.
• The Nova Scotia Growth and Yield model (NSGNY 3.0) also now calculates forest carbon.
