Our Forest
CPAWS-NS has been working hard to protect the last remaining forests in Nova Scotia, because harvesting has reached unprecedented levels.
Each year, fifty-thousand hectares of forest are harvested, an area roughly equivalent in size to Kejimkujik National Park.
Upwards of 90% of this harvesting is done using clearcuts, supported by a spidery network of roads that if pieced end to end would stretch around the Earth two-and-a-half times.
CPAWS-NS is working to conserve our forest and increase the amount of protected areas and wildlife corridors in Nova Scotia. Because of the high proportion of private land ownership, CPAWS-NS is working with both government and the forest industry to create a more sustainable future and protect the last remaining wilderness we have.
