About the Forest Management Project
The Abenaki-led Forest Management Project combines Indigenous Knowledge with current management and conservation practices to create a balanced form of land stewardship that promotes the inclusion of principles which are culturally and ecologically important. The Abenaki understanding of land and all of its inhabitants helps foster a reciprocal relationship with the environment. This can heal past degradation and create future stability for communities.
