Sustainable Forestry
& Log Supply

ELCO utilizes approximately 130,000 m3 of Spruce and Fir saw logs annually for our lumber production needs. This log supply is supported by many small woodlots across Nova Scotia, Crown License allocations as well as our sustainably managed 30,000-acre Industrial freehold land base. Our forest management strategy is anchored by a robust silviculture program that produces a sustainable high quality log supply. We offer silviculture options to our private woodlot partners at no cost through our registered buyers forest sustainability program.

Private Woodlot Partnership Opportunities

Private woodlot owner’s looking to explore potential harvesting and silviculture treatments on their woodlots are encouraged to reach out to our woodlands department. Our focus with these mutually valuable partnerships is to understand the objectives of the woodlot owner and with our experience and resources help facilitate those objectives. We can provide a woodlot assessment and recommendations at no cost to the woodlot owner. If a harvest agreement is reached, we will include a reforestation strategy at no cost and will support the woodlot owner in the future to help facilitate treatments when they are needed. Our woodlands team includes an experienced, professional, silviculture and harvesting contractor base, including machinery options suited for a wide array of silviculture and harvesting treatments.
