What We Solve
D. Bedford Forestry strengthens the long-term health and resilience of Nova Scotia’s forests by improving growth conditions, boosting carbon capture, and reducing risks from insects and wildfires. At the same time, we’re helping solve a critical industry challenge by training and supplying skilled, reliable operators to a rapidly declining forestry workforce.
What Makes
Us Different
With 29 years of experience, D. Bedford Forestry has built a truly unique training model that removes the traditional barriers to entering the industry. Trainees are paid while they learn, supported with hands-on mentorship, and equipped with everything they need to succeed — creating a stronger, more accessible path into forestry.
Our training program is designed to attract, train, and retain the skilled operators the forestry industry urgently needs. Trainees earn an hourly wage while they learn, receive one-on-one mentorship, and are fully equipped with everything required to succeed — removing the financial and experience barriers that typically prevent people from entering the field.
