About us

The NWOA was established in 1996 as a result of a partnership between a dedicated group of interested woodlot owners, the Norfolk Federation of Agriculture, the Norfolk Land Stewardship Council, and the Tree Commission (known today as the Norfolk County Forest Conservation Service) .

The goal of the NWOA is “to promote wise use and stewardship of Norfolk’s Woodlots” . Working with this premise and focusing on the development of a membership-driven association, is the reason so many woodlot owners and other interested parties, have joined the NWOA to date.

Norfolk County is blessed with about 25% or more of our landscape in woodlands, most of which are privately owned. The NWOA hosts events and seminars to educate their members on sustainable forest management. Woodlot members also use the association as a resource to ensure they receive fair market value for timber, information on loggers working in the County, Foresters available for marking woodlots, etc.

Once you become a member you have access to additional information and resources in the Members only section, you will also receive Newsletters on the latest happenings in Norfolk’s Forests. Come join today!
