If you are a landowner, any trees on your property may be considered a woodlot. Proper management of your woodlot—which can be farm or field shelterbelts, small bluffs, wooded pastures or large tracts of forest—can provide a wide variety of products and opportunities to you. In fact, woodlots can be a valuable source of income, a wildlife habitat, a recreational area, a supplier of firewood or simply a place to relax and enjoy nature
Not sure how to derive the greatest economic, environmental, or social benefits from your woodlot? Let the Manitoba Forestry Association (MFA) lend a hand. Our Woodlot Program will help you realize the potential of your wooded property and promote stewardship of your land. We can assist you, by providing information on one or more of the following:
- Planting trees for beauty or profit
- Attracting more wildlife
- Creating trails for hiking, skiing, or snowmobiling
- Harvesting wood from your land
- Protecting your trees from fire, insects, and diseases
- Collecting maple syrup or harvest mushrooms
- Protecting water quality and soil productivity
The MFA knows that proper woodlot management is an integral part of land stewardship. Our actions affect not only forests, but the trees around us. That is why our Woodlot Program provides landowners with the tools they need to make informed decisions around their woodlots. Call us today!
