Owning and managing woodlands can come with many rewards, but navigating the financial aspects can be complex. To help landowners make informed decisions, NSWWT partnered with the Federation of Nova Scotia Woodland Owners to host a Woodland Finances Panel Discussion. This informative session brought together experts to discuss essential financial topics, including tax planning, succession strategies, and funding opportunities.

While both Conservation Easements and Working Forest Community Easements aim to preserve land, their practices and limitations differ, though both share the goal of maintaining and improving ecological conditions. By understanding these key distinctions, landowners can make informed decisions that align with the unique needs of their woodlands and community. Here are five important differences to consider.  

This month, our Executive Director, Mary Jane Rodger, had the opportunity to sit down with Bob Murphy from CBC’s Maritime Noon to discuss our Hemlock program and working forest easements.

The Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust (NSWWT) has reached a milestone in its mission to preserve the province’s working forests by securing its first easement. The landmark easement will preserve 82.7 acres of mature woodland in Lunenburg County.
