The Western Newfoundland Model Forest, encompassing 923,000 hectares of boreal
forest in western Newfoundland, stretches south from the northern boundary of
Gros Morne National Park and east from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Corner Brook
Pulp and Paper Limited manages most of the land in the Model Forest area. The
forest’s dominant tree species include balsam fir, black spruce, jack pine,
trembling aspen, white birch and white spruce. The Model Forest’s diverse range
of projects includes biodiversity assessment, carbon stock assessment,
watershed planning, water quality and wildlife. Along with the Innu Nation, the
Western Newfoundland Model Forest also participates in a
special project area in Labrador/Nitassinan.
