Canada's private forests play a vital role in protecting biodiversity, storing carbon, supporting wildlife, and strengthening our communities.
If you own or manage private forest land in Canada—or work for an organization that does—you’re invited to participate in Canada's Private Forests: A National Survey.
🌲 The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete.
🌿 Your responses will help researchers better understand who owns and manages private forests, what motivates stewardship, and how landowners are responding to challenges like climate change, invasive species, wildfires, and economic pressures.
🤝 From Canadian Forest Owners in collaboration with McGill University and Mitacs, a non-profit national research organization.
Whether your forest is a woodlot, sugarbush, managed timberland, shelterbelt, or any treed property you consider a forest, your perspective matters.
Your input will help inform future policies and programs that better support private forest owners and the important work they do. Survey deadline is September 14, 2026.
