New Community Forest opportunities in Nova Scotia

Province taking over woodland management — with a little help. The province added a large chunk of land to their crown assets last month, with the purchase of the Resolute assets in Nova Scotia. Now they are figuring out how best to manage it.

Officially the province took over the land on Dec. 21. Charlie Parker, minister of natural resources, says planning is already underway to find the best uses. While they are working on a plan though, the lands still need to be managed. That role falls to the Department of Natural Resources, with help from former Resolute employees.
