Nova Scotia has over 30,000 small woodlot owners representing approximately 60% of the total forested area ... in a province that is 3/4s covered by trees.
You'd think there would be a powerful forest lobby, all working together to look after their interests.
Actually not.
There are many small associations/special interest groups with relatively small memberships.
It seems that we have a difficult coming together.
So why should a woodlot owner in Western Nova Scotia care about the new [ Western Woodlot Services Coop ] ? A couple things come to mind:
- for a one-time fee of $100, you become part of the coop and have access to [ their services ]
- they are very inclusive about landowner values ... there is a place for everyone
- perhaps I'm naive, but my sense is that there is a movement in the forest sector to work together. You can watch from the sidelines or be part of it
