We're also taking every available opportunity to connect with candidates and community members to spread the good word about private forestry. As always, thanks for your interest and please let us know if you have any questions, feedback or comments.

The award acknowledges, and celebrates, the exemplary contributions individual forest owners make to overall forest stewardship excellence in the province. It's an opportunity for us to shake hands with, and tip our hats to, the the folks who spend their days making the decisions, implementing the practices, managing the land and growing the trees that make the Managed Forest Program a success.[...read more]»
