Mentorship Shapes Forestry

In this episode, we’re joined by Spencer Coulstring of Freeman Lumber, whose journey from science communications to passionate forestry advocate highlights the evolving face of Nova Scotia’s forest sector.

Spencer shares her unique pathway into forestry, from species conservation in British Columbia to building a career and community back home in Nova Scotia. Throughout the conversation, we dive into the power of mentorship and inclusion, exploring how groups like Women in Woods are breaking barriers, creating safe spaces, and redefining what it means to succeed in a traditionally male-dominated field.

Together, we tackle public perception and the role of education in shaping the next generation’s view of forestry. Spencer provides insights on inspiring youth, the changing demands of the sector, and the importance of supporting one another, especially women, as the industry seeks greater diversity and resilience.

We also uncover the challenges and hopes for a more sustainable, welcoming forestry sector, making this episode a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of the industry.
