The Maritimes provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island are found in the Acadian forest region. Most of the region's natural forests contain a distinct mix of softwood and hardwood species that are long-lived and shade tolerant.
Throughout the Acadian forest region the natural character of the forest has been altered through harvesting activities, and the region's economy remains highly dependant on the Acadian Forest for a diversity of products and services.
The Maritimes Standard was accredited in 2008 and applies to the Maritimes provinces of Canada; New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
