Forestry is a long-term investment, but day-to-day operations never stop.
From fuel and repairs to labour and seasonal expenses, working capital helps keep businesses moving when opportunities arise.

Forestry Sector Council (FORSEC), in partnership with ShiftNine Consulting, is launching a first-of-its-kind labour market study of Nova Scotia’s forestry sector, which is already attracting interest at the national level.

This research goes beyond identifying labour shortages. It will examine how changing markets, technology, trade pressures, and industry demands are shaping forestry’s workforce and economic future.

Our goal is to turn research into action. These findings will help shape a workforce and economic model that identifies where training, workforce development, and strategic investment can have the greatest impact, while providing industry and government with evidence to guide future decisions.

Phase 1 is now underway, and we need industry’s voice. Forestry employers will be asked to complete a short, 15-minute survey to help establish current and future workforce needs. Worker engagement and economic impact analysis will follow.
This is an opportunity to ensure Nova Scotia’s forestry sector has a stronger voice in shaping its future, both provincially and nationally.

Firewood season is here.
As Nova Scotians prepare for colder weather, it's a good time to get firewood stacked, covered, and ready for winter. Properly seasoned firewood burns more efficiently, provides better heat, and helps keep wood-burning systems operating safely.

As part of Day 2 of Forestry Industry Training led by forestry and bioeconomy leader Rod Badcock, TLB staff recently toured Ledwidge Lumber in Enfield to learn more about the opportunities and challenges facing today's forestry industry.
The tour provided valuable insight into how Nova Scotia's forest resources support jobs, businesses, and communities across the province. Opportunities like this help strengthen our understanding of the forestry sector, allowing TLB staff to better support and serve the forestry businesses and entrepreneurs who contribute to Nova Scotia's economy.
Thank you to Rod and the Ledwidge Lumber team for an informative and engaging day.
