Nova Scotia Forest Festival
October 5 @ 11:00 am – 4:00 pm
Grab Your Plaid and Head for the Woods!
The Nova Scotia Forest Festival is a showcase of the many ways Nova Scotians connect to our forests for their livelihood, housing, recreation, food, and heritage. Featuring live horse logging demonstrations with Ruby and Dan, a matched pair of Clydesdale-crosses. Enjoy axe throwing, hands-on activities & heritage demonstrations for all ages. The event culminates in the Golden Axe-throwing Tournament where local businesses will be going axe-head to axe-head to see who has the chops.
Citizen Scientists Lisa Proulx and Ashlea Viola will be joining the SOOF table to share their knowledge of lichens – and they are bringing a microscope! Stop by to say hi, take a peek through the microscope and sign a petition to protect forests over 80 years old on Crown land in Halifax County!
