May 2004 Acadia First Nation's Saw Mill began operating in Gardner's Mill. Through this project Business Acadia Band will be milling their own lumber for housing and other building projects. We are also advertising and selling lumber to the public. The AFN Forestry has employed 5 people to work the Saw Mill, 2 in silviculture and 3 on the Mill. Matthew Morrison oversees the Mill and works with  Ray Falls, and Ernie Bartlett. Darryl Hurlburt trains and oversees the silviculture working with Chris Pine.. For Band members that would like Slab Wood for burning can make arrangements with Tom Pictou to pick it up. You must have your own way of transporting the wood and it must be during the hours the Saw Mill is open. For more information contact the Band office.
