Stakeholders and the public can now access forest management plans online. Find plans, work schedules and maps by selecting an area on the forest management unit map or from a drop down list.
The new Forest Management Planning Manual (FMPM) (2009), the new Forest Information Manual (2009) and other planning information are also available on the site.
The new FMPM (2009) has been revised to reflect a more efficient and effective forest management planning process and also provides specific planning direction for the Whitefeather Forest. The update incorporates the recently revised Forest Management Guides. To date, the Silvicultural Guides, Tourism Guide, Cultural Heritage Values Guide are completed, with the Stand and Site Guide and Landscape Guide nearing completion.
Please note: On June 24th this year, Premier McGuinty announced the realignment of forestry from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines — now the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry (MNDMF) — in recognition of the important role the industry plays in Ontario's northern communities. This was done to help make the province more competitive, create jobs and strengthen our economy.
The formal realignment took place on September 3, 2009. However, the web pages detailing the business functions of forestry in Ontario are still housed on the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) website.
We are working on transferring the pages detailing the business functions of forest to the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry (MNDMF) website. Thank you for your patience.
