DRAFTING (sep 5, 2024..)
On the relationship between Ecological Land Classification (ELC) and Forest Ecosystem Classificatiom (FEC)
Currently, NS Gov documents related to Forest Ecosystem Classification and its use in conservation and forestry are distributed across many pages; there are older documents that have been updated still around and other older docs that one might want to consult have been deleted.
We attempt on this page and subpages to provide some organization of materials that will help readers` of this wesbsite to access these documents. It may take a while.
