About Us
Community Based
At the Clean Forest Society, we're dedicated to protecting Nova Scotia's breathtaking forests and wildlife for future generations. Based in the heart of this beautiful province, we're a community-driven organization committed to reducing wildfire risk and promoting sustainable forest management. Through collaboration with local communities, organizations, and governments, we're working tirelessly to create a safer, more resilient environment for all Nova Scotians. Join us in our mission to preserve the natural beauty and ecological integrity of Nova Scotia's forests, and to build a stronger, more sustainable future for our province.
Remove fuel sources: Dead vegetation, branches, and other debris can fuel wildfires, making them spread quickly. By removing these materials, the amount of fuel available for fires decreases.
Create fire breaks: Clearing debris and clutter can create natural fire breaks, which can help contain or slow the spread of wildfires.
Promote healthy forest ecosystems: Regular forest cleaning can help maintain healthy forest ecosystems, reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires and promoting biodiversity.
How we plan to do it: When we plan to do it:
Starting in our backyards and working outward
Using sleds and chainsaws to cut and move debris
Connecting with landowners, conservationists and donors for best areas
ATV and trail cutting to remote locations.
Clean Forest Society will begin the project in spring 2026
