Nova Scotia clarifies strategy for future forest policy

摘要

The Nova Scotia government has announced six strategic directions that will be the basis for the province's future forestry policy. The new rules will reduce clearcutting, prohibit whole tree harvesting, and ensure commercial buyers of biomass are subject to the same rules as the forest industry. The Mi'kmaq and key stakeholders will be invited to provide input before the policies are finalized. Rules and guidelines to support these directions will become part of the next steps in the strategy process.
