Ontario's Forests - Sustainability for Today and Tomorrow

Ontario's landscape is characterized by its vast and diverse forests.  They range from the deciduous forest of southern Ontario, through the mixed forest of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region in central and northwestern Ontario, to the conifer-dominated boreal forests of the north. 

Forested land comprises 66 per cent of Ontario or about 70.4 million hectares – almost 174 million acres, equal to the land masses of Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands combined.  More about Ontario's Forests »
