Reports and Policies
Our company forest resources will be managed for long-term sustainability and natural biodiversity while providing an increasing harvest volume and conserving the social and cultural values of the community. The company is committed to implementing its sustainable forest management mission, vision, and guiding principles.

- Managing the forest to maintain, enhance and develop the appropriate range of species naturally found on site
- Using a range of harvest treatments based on on-site specific characteristics to create a more diverse and mixed forest in Nova Scotia
- High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) management
- Public participation and broad-based input from local communities
