Success Stories
Hear from some of the land stewards who have partnered with the Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust.
Cindy and Sherm’s Story: Balancing Forestry and Conservation
It started with a simple note written on a map of Carman Pierce’s 430-acre woodland: ‘Could be a great spot for a camp.’ Carman's dream of building the camp on his woodland near Sable River never came to fruition, but decades later, his daughter Cindy and her husband Sherm Embree turned that vision into a reality.
Don and Sheila's Story: A Legacy of Sharing
When you ask Don and Sheila what their favourite part of stewarding their 232 acre woodlot is, their answer is simple: sharing. Whether it’s sharing knowledge, tradition, accessible trails or homemade maple syrup, the privilege that comes with stewarding a woodlot is not lost on Don and Sheila.
