The Eastern Shore Forest Watch
Association was founded in 1998 by a group of concerned citizens who support a vision of sustainable forest practices. Members of Forest Watch understand
that humans are but one of hundreds of species in any region, each of which is important in its own right as an integral part
of the ecological web.
Members include established Eastern Shore families and new residents, woodlot owners, foresters,
business owners and professionals, teenagers and octogenarians, all deeply concerned about the health and future of our forests
and wild lands.
What We Do
- Participate as active members in the Otter Ponds Demonstration Forest, located in Mooseland --
an experiment in innovative, ecologically-sustainable forestry
- Encourage legislation which mandates
the highest standards for forest practices on public and private land
- Sponsor public education
events to underline the vital links between healthy forests, clean air, clean water and healthy rural communities
- Undertake regular water-monitoring in the Ship Harbour Long Lake Wilderness Area, because Scraggy Lake may be threatened
by effluent from a proposed gold mine
- Advocate for more protected wild lands in Nova Scotia
