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.
NSWWT Secures Landmark Easement in Lunenburg County
The Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust (NSWWT) has reached a milestone in its mission to preserve the province’s working forests by securing its first easement. The landmark easement will preserve 82.7 acres of mature woodland in Lunenburg County.
