Forestry Trust Applications Opening Soon
The province says applications for the second round of the Forestry Innovation Transition Trust will be accepted starting on Sunday and close on November 30th.
The 50-million-dollar fund was announced in February in the wake of the closure of the Northern Pulp Mill in Pictou County.
The government says twenty-two applications sent in in the first round are being reviewed with decisions expected in early December.
The trust is open to companies, organizations or post-secondary institutions working and researching in the forestry and biological resources sectors.
Forestry workers can also tap into the fund for training or retraining.
