Ontario managed woodlot program

Individual trees are selected for harvest based on a range of factors including:. Tree Marking for Harvesting Individual marking involves identifying trees to be selectively harvested prior to the harvest operation. This provides the landowner a method of control over the trees that will be removed and a volume estimate for the trees that will be harvested.

The volume estimate will provide landowners an estimate for fair market value of their timber. This provides valuable information on expected revenues when negotiating with logging contractors.

A well managed woodlot will protect and enhance wildlife habitat on your woodlot. Trees are a renewable resource; they can be harvested periodically without major disturbance to the natural environment.

We advertise timber to select low-impact loggers and ensure every woodlot owner obtains the highest market value for their Timber. In eastern Ontario, OPG's biodiversity programs are benefiting birds, pollinators, and species at risk.
