Join us for a conversation about your woodland!

From trail building to harvesting firewood and maple-syrup, we know your working woodland is a special place. Let’s have a conversation about how we can protect it for future generations.

Join trained forest professionals from the Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust for a relaxed evening of learning about how we can support your forest stewardship goals. Learn about how Working Forest Easements work and how they can protect your land from potential clear-cutting, and development. Meet your local community over a presentation, a Q & A session, and enjoy some snacks and coffee with us.

We will also be welcoming the Southwest Nova Biosphere Region to present about the important conservation work they are engaged with in the five southwestern counties of Nova Scotia. Learn about the work of Biospheres and about ecological tree planting initiatives happening in your community. Your property may qualify to participate!

The Southwest Nova Biosphere will also be generously handing out free seedlings for any keen woodland owners looking to plant a few more sugar maples or yellow birch saplings.

When: Thursday, November 5, 2026 - 6:30PM to 8:30PM

Where: In-person at the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives - 22 Collins Street, Yarmouth, NS
