On November 10 in Old Barns (near Truro) the Nova Scotia Woodlot Owners and
Operators Association will sponsor a workshop and mini-field day focused on
uneven-aged management, an alternative to clearcutting that allows woodlot
owners to grow high-value trees while preserving their forests for other
purposes, such as recreation and wildlife habitat. Scientists studying the
Acadian Forest believe that this type of management comes much closer to the
way the Acadian Forest evolved historically than the type of management that
is being practiced now.
The workshop is titled "How to Do It and How to Pay For It". Speakers will
include Rebecca Aggas, coordinator of the Association for Sustainable
Forestry, who will talk about how to apply for a new pool of money that's
been set aside for selection harvesting, pruning, and crop tree release
under Category 7 of the Forest Sustainability Regulations. Representatives
of Picea Forest Consulting, which wrote management plans for two of the last
three winners of Provincial Woodlot Owner of the Year, will discuss woodlot
conditions that are appropriate for Category 7 treatments. Later in the day
we'll visit the woodlot of Charlie Baird, Provincial Woodlot Owner of the
Year in 1996, for presentations on pre-commercial thinning and selection
harvesting, among other topics.
The workshop is free (but we'll ask for a donation to cover the cost of a
meal). To attend, just show up around 9:30 (no later than 10) am at the
Cobequid Fire District Fire Hall at 3830 Route 236, just outside of Old
Barns. To get there, take Exit 14 off Highway 102. At the foot of the off
ramp, turn west onto Route 236 (opposite direction from Truro) and drive
about 2 k to the fire hall. Please come prepared for harsh weather and wear
hunter orange. For more information see the NSWOOA's website,
