NSWWT on CBC’s Land and Sea

In the Maritimes, the majority of forested land is in private hands, often as small woodlots that are passed down through generations. Those forests have sustained families and communities for centuries, but many aging woodlot owners face an uncertain future. Now, some are offering a new way to safeguard those forests by harnessing their ability to store carbon.

NSWWT’s Executive Director, Mary Jane Rodger, along with Don and Sheila Munro, longtime NSWWT land stewards, spoke with CBC about how working forest easements and community partnerships are helping protect private woodlands for the long term.
