– Nova Scotia Government responds to Questions about the Sustainable Forest Harvest Level 16oct2024
Post on this website Oct 16, 2024.
“The number that is being cited as the Sustainable Harvest Level for Nova Scotia, 5.7 million cubic meters/annum, dates from NS Government sources in 2016. It surely does not represent what’s available today, what could be sustained well into the future and what Nova Scotians wish to be available for harvesting, while allowing for other uses and values of our forested landscape. For the sake of Nova Scotians at large and to provide credible numbers to the forest industry and investors, the government is urged to move quickly on its “Work [that] is underway to develop a new number based on the triad model”, and to follow the related recommendations of Bill Lahey.”

’12 page document on website of Western Forest Products 2006.
“The following paper is intended to provide a relatively simple summary of the various concepts and factors that are related to determining sustainable harvest levels in the DFA. Of note, the DFA discussed throughout is only the Westem Forest Products DFA. A driver for this paper has been the question posed by the WIWAG: What is a sustainable harvest level for the DFA? The goal therefore is to ensure that the concepts and factors, and their relationships over time, are understood.” Who is WFP? “Western Forest Products is a leading forest products company that manufactures high-quality wood products and sustainably manages forests.” For more context, view WFP’s Sustainable Forest Management Plan
