Forestry has been the mainstay of the economy of the North Queens County, Nova Scotia area since it was first settled in the early 1800's. Woods work and lumbering are part and parcel of the lives of many families in the area.

N.F. Douglas Lumber Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of N.F. Douglas & Co. Ltd., has helped to bring the local industry into the 21st century while remaining true to a commitment to sound forestry practices.
