Free Information and Assistance

If putting wooded lands to work in a sustainable way appeals to you, we encourage you to find out how the Manitoba Agro Woodlot Program can help.

Any new venture begins with a need for information. We’d like you to learn more about woodlot management and what it can do for your farm and your income.

Give us a call. Our staff can visit your property for a “walk and talk.” We can inventory your woodlot and give you some idea of the potential.

If you want to proceed, we can prepare a management plan. The plan helps you make informed decisions by identifying environmental risks, an appropriate scale of harvest activity and a sound woodlot renewal strategy.

Once you decide to harvest, we can help mark trees, locate trails and landings, as well as refer you to skilled loggers. Agro Woodlot Program staff can even help you prepare a timber sales agreement that protects your rights and interests. We can help you learn about forest stewardship and the beneficial management practices necessary for an environmentally sensitive harvest.

Like you, the Manitoba Agro Woodlot Program is in it for the long term. We remain available to provide technical and marketing support as you progress in woodlot management or a micro forestry business.
