2022 Silviculture Season

The 2022 silviculture season is quickly approaching. We are still waiting on our finalized budget and rates for the 2022 fiscal year and annual spring seedling deliveries will not arrive for another 2-3 weeks.

Owners that want to get a head start on planting are encouraged to make use of the surplus white spruce stock from last year, which are free of cost. These trees were supplied last year as surplus from the Kingsclear nursery.

If you would like recommendations for your planting application, or have other silvicultural needs, please contact the office by calling (506) 433-9866 to be directed to a field staff representative.
