The Future of the Nova Scotia Forestry Contractor

A Contractor group comprised of Nova Scotia's harvesting, trucking, silviculture and road construction companies have been monitoring and assessing the dramatic impacts of the Northern Pulp mill closure and have compiled their concerns and solutions in a position paper released back in May. The Canadian Woodlands Forum through their High Performance Logging (HPL) program have been assisting the group in providing communication in the form of updates and coordination support to forestry contractors across the province. The position paper and updates provided on this page are for purposes of keeping contractors informed of market developments and issues impacting the future viability of the fiber supply chain.
