The forest
is never still.

We work in the Acadian forest of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia — with a longer view of the land.

01 — Time

A forest keeps
its own time.

One ring for every year. Wide pale bands for good springs, thin dark ones for dry summers. Decisions made around a forest play out over decades — so that is the unit we plan in.

1946 0 rings
  1. PithThe first year. Everything after grows outward from here.
  2. EarlywoodFast spring growth: large, pale cells.
  3. LatewoodSlow summer growth: dense and dark. Together, one year.

02 — How we work

What we do
differently.

We manage our forests from planting to harvest, and we make the choices that pay off over decades, not seasons.

  1. 01

    From planting to harvest

    We manage the whole cycle ourselves: planting, tending, thinning and harvest.

  2. 02

    No herbicide spraying

    We don’t use herbicide spraying programs. That gives hardwoods room to come back, above all maple.

  3. 03

    Mixed forest that lasts

    Hardwoods among the spruce and fir make a mixed forest that stands up better to a changing climate, and broadleaf stands slow the spread of fire. Their leaf litter builds up the humus layer, storing more carbon in the soil.

  4. 04

    A very light harvester

    We carry out commercial thinnings with our own very light harvester. Its low weight protects the forest floor.

03 — Species

The trees of
the Acadian forest.

Painted twig of red spruce with a hanging reddish-brown cone

Picea rubens

Red spruce

The signature conifer of the Maritimes and Nova Scotia’s provincial tree. Slow-growing, shade-tolerant and long-lived.

Painted twig of balsam fir with two upright purple cones

Abies balsamea

Balsam fir

New Brunswick’s provincial tree. Its cones stand upright on the branch and break apart there in autumn.

Painted twig of yellow birch with golden leaves and a curl of bronze bark

Betula alleghaniensis

Yellow birch

The hardwood of the mix. Its bronze bark peels in thin, papery curls.

Painted twig of sugar maple with autumn-red leaves and winged seeds

Acer saccharum

Sugar maple

The tree behind maple syrup. It grows in the hardwood stands with yellow birch, and in autumn it turns the slopes orange and red.

Red spruce, balsam fir and yellow birch are the predominant species per Natural Resources Canada. Sugar maple belongs to the forest’s tolerant hardwood stands.
