Nova Scotia's Code of Forest Practice: A Framework for the Implementation of Sustainable Forest Management [Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, NSDNR]

The Code of Forest Practice principles has provided a framework of new direction for the wide range of activities that are and will be happening in Nova Scotia’s forests. They are based on the concept of sustainable forest management which greatly expands the range of priorities for forest use across the province, while at the same time considers the long term well being of the forest environment. The Code of Forest Practice principles, guidelines and technical manuals will provide general direction and practical guidance for the sustainable management of a range of forest uses and values to benefit present and future generations of Nova Scotians.
