Selection Harvesting

Selection harvesting is a treatment used in uneven-aged forest management in which either single trees or small groups of trees are harvested at a time. The goal is to maintain the canopy of a forest stand while still being able to continually harvest timber. This is done by diversifying tree age classes, encouraging regeneration, and leaving some of the best trees as seed trees.

Counties: Pictou, Halifax, Cumberland, Colchester
Lot Sizes: over 10 acres

Portable Mill

It is becoming increasingly more efficient for some contractors to provide portable milling services to customers rather than shipping logs greater distances. Portable mills are smaller, lighter, and easier to move between locations than stationary models. They generally use either a band or circular blade and can provide custom milling services to woodlot owners, often being able to cut lengths and widths of logs that larger industrial mills cannot or will not take.

Forest Certification

Forest Certification is a tool that was developed to promote sustainable and ecologically responsible forest management, and has gained considerable popularity over the past several decades. Though certification schemes differ, most require adhering to a set of forest management principles, having a detailed management plan, submitting regular updates to the certifying body, and agreeing to periodic site audits by a third party. The most common schemes used in Canada, and Nova Scotia in particular, are governed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). For small private woodlots in the province, the relevant certification schemes are FSC SLIMF and CSA Z804, and there exist several certifying bodies through which a woodlot owner could certify his/her woodland.

Counties: Pictou, Halifax, Cumberland, Colchester
Lot Sizes: over 10 acres

Commercial Harvest

A commercial harvest is completed with the goal of harvesting and selling the final timber product (saw logs, etc.). It is the final stage in commercial forest management, taking place several years after precommercial thinning and commercial thinning treatments.

Lot Sizes: over 10 acres
