Managing Nova Scotia Woodlands in a Changing Climate

Using a jurisdictional scan, literature review, and consultation with woodland owners and groups in Nova Scotia, the intern will develop an education module for woodland owners on how to manage a Nova Scotia Acadian Forest woodlot in the face of a changing climate. Both adaptation – managing so trees can thrive through a changing climate – and mitigation managing so that woodland can capture and store more carbon – will be covered in the module. The results will assist Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute in its programs to assist woodland owners in achieving their land management goals and overall sustainability of the forest landscape.
