Gov't Program Funding for WL Projects
Do you want government funding for your woodlot licence Schedule B lands in 2023/24? Non-obligatory activities on Schedule B lands are eligible as per the Silviculture Funding Criteria, in two broad categories:
· Current reforestation - aims to reforest areas not being addressed by harvesting/licensee obligation; key opportunities: fire-killed stands, beetle-killed stands, any other damage that isn’t economical to harvest and incur silviculture; can cover surveys, prescriptions, site prep/knock down, sowing, planting
· Timber supply mitigation – fertilization, spacing
Process
- Email Mike mf_simpson@outlook.com with the following by Nov 15, 2022 
- Woodlot licence number, Forest district, Timber Supply area 
- Description of your project – area, what you’re proposing to do, site history 
- Map – kmz or shape file ideally, or a pdf/jpg image 
- Proposed costs 
- I will collate all woodlot license requests for funding and submit to the MOF by Nov 30, 2022 
- MOF deliberates and makes a funding decision in March 2023 
Thank you!
