This photo which is stated to show damage on Mt. Thom caused by Fiona, quickly went viral. FACEBOOKAfter Fiona swept through Nova Scotia in September, Nova Scotia’s Natural Resources and Renewables Minister Tory Rushton took a tour of forests from Cumberland County through to Cape Breton.“Pictou faced the brunt of this storm,” Rushton said. “I know there's some heavy, heavy work that's going on to get this cleaned up right now in the area.
The Department is investing an additional $5.7 million this fiscal year to help private woodlot owners with Fiona cleanup and to manage their lands sustainably: Of that, $2.5 million extends eligibility for Fiona-related assistance to industrial private woodlots and provides more support for repairing roads. The Department previously supported private woodlot owners with $4.6 million for cleaning up trees, preparing to replant, repairing roads and re-establishing boundary lines.
Shifting the time of the funding will allow those in the forestry sector to better project what work they can do rather than guess or wait for a formal announcement later.
