Welcomes you to its New Brunswick Private
Timberlands
Welcome to our beautiful lands. Our forests are essential to the regional environment,
economy and way of life. These timberlands that you have chosen to use provide
valuable raw materials for manufacturing plants and create jobs for hundreds of
people. We believe the future of our business depends upon keeping our Woodlands
healthy and productive, for it is the forest that is the foundation of our business.
Acadian Timber is committed to managing multiple values: wood, wildlife and water.

program. Acadian’s woodlands operations have been certified to the SFI Program
