Getting the tree seedlings into the blocks can be tricky when they come in trays! The racks on our ATVs allow us to move seedlings more efficiently into our planting areas.

Experience like this doesn’t happen overnight. Two million trees in the ground is a seriously impressive feat! 👏 We are lucky to have veteran planters like Devan with us to plant these Nova Scotia blocks.

The 2023 Barrington Lake wildfire was the largest wildfire in Nova Scotia’s history.

Our crews have replanted the affected areas with a mixture of hardwoods and softwoods.

While the impact was devastating, we’re honoured to be part of the recovery🌱

We spent the last few days in Halifax attending the 2026 Forest Nova Scotia AGM, and once again it was a wonderful experience! It was a great opportunity to connect with our clients and network with industry partners.

We enjoyed listening to all of the speakers and were also pleased to hear from and meet Minister Kim Masland, MLA for Queens, Minister of Natural Resources and Emergency Management.

The risk of wildfires has lowered enough in some counties for restrictions on travel and activities in the woods to be lifted today, August 29. The burn ban remains in place for the entire province until October 15 or until conditions improve further.

Effective 4 p.m. today, the woods restrictions are lifted in the following counties:

- Cape Breton
- Richmond
- Victoria
- Inverness
- Guysborough
- Antigonish
- Halifax.

“Our data shows conditions are heading in the right direction in certain parts of the Province, enough for the professionals to recommend lifting the woods restrictions in those areas,” said Premier Tim Houston. “While our crews are still battling the fire in Long Lake, Nova Scotians have taken the precautions needed to keep wildfire activity low in other parts of the Province. The conditions are ready for them to get back to safely enjoying the woods again.”

The remaining counties in Nova Scotia are still under the woods restrictions as conditions continue to be extremely dry and hazardous:

- Pictou
- Colchester
- Cumberland
- Hants
- Lunenburg
- Kings
- Annapolis
- Queens
- Shelburne
- Digby
- Yarmouth.

Restrictions in these 11 counties will remain in place until October 15 – regarded as the end of wildfire season – or until conditions allow them to be lifted. The fine for violating the restrictions is $25,000.
