An alternative to clearcutting: Growing high-value trees

Free Workshops And Field Trips Showcase Uneven-Aged Management

Uneven-aged management permits woodlot owners to grow high-value trees while
managing their woodlands for multiple species, ages, values and benefits. In
Nova Scotia, financial assistance may be available to small private woodland
owners through the Association for Sustainable Forestry's Category 7 Quality
Improvement Silviculture Program.

In order to provide small private woodlot owners and contractors with
information about uneven-aged management and the Category 7 program, the
Association for Sustainable Forestry's Uneven-Aged Management Outreach
Project is offering free workshops and field days throughout the province.

Each educational program will include a morning workshop followed by a visit
to a nearby woodlot for a look at uneven-aged management as it is being
practiced "on the ground". The schedule of these day-long events is as
follows:
.	May 3: Digby County, Richfield area
.	May 10: Colchester County, Earltown area
.	May 24: Queens County, North Brookfield area
.	June 7: Victoria County, Middle River area
.	June 14: Antigonish County, St. Joseph area

Space for these free programs is limited, and reservations are required.
Nova Scotia woodlot owners and contractors are encouraged to register by
calling the Outreach Project telephone number (902-673-2278) or emailing the
project at outreach@asforestry.com.

The Uneven-Aged Management Outreach Project is funded by the Nova Scotia
Department of Natural Resources. Information about the Category 7 Quality
Improvement Silviculture Program is available at
http://www.asforestry.com/Category7program.htm or from the Uneven-Aged
Management Outreach Project at 902-673-2278 or outreach@asforestry.com
