Working together is a success. The Forest Services Annual Report is produced by the Policy, Planning and Coordination Division as part of the Forestry and Wildlife Branch mandate.
Forests cover more than half of Newfoundland and Labrador s land surface.
Our forests are a valuable natural resource, supporting 10,000 jobs. Forest industries contribute approximately three percent of the Province s Gross Domestic Product each year. Forestry is our third largest industry sector, after fisheries and mining. Our forests are far more than an economic resource. They are an intimate part of our lifestyle, especially in rural areas, providing lumber for building and other industrial uses, and fuel for domestic heating.
