Small Woodland Partnership
The Small Woodland Partnership (SWP) is comprised of a
diverse cross section of forestry organizations, each with a
specific focus for small woodland owners. The SWP recognizes
the diversity of landowners and in doing so have come
together to provide an extension of the SWP resources.
Relevant information about Small Woodland management and
sustainable forestry can be found by exploring the direct
links associated with each
Partner. There is no cost to small
landowners to use the site. The SWP focuses on
non-industrial private forest land. Non-industrial land
owners are those who do not have an interest in a large
processing facility but do have sufficient land to
practice sustainable forest management. It is estimated
that there are ~ 20,000 such land owners across the
province.
A fundamental goal of the SWP is to encourage sustainable
forest practices on private land by helping landowners
acquire the necessary skills, knowledge. The delivery of
information and resources is facilitated through SWP
organizations. The goal of SWP is to educate, support and
facilitate collaboration amongst landowners. It is hoped that
this will lead to a self sustaining organizational network
with the interest, authority, and ability to represent
landowners.
