• Eastern Ontario Model Forest "The EOMF is a not-for-profit, charitable organization. The EOMF works with government, landowners, industry, First Nations, non-government organizations and others to develop new ways to sustain and manage our forest resources. The model forest provides a unique forum where forest owners, managers, and users can forge partnerships, share their knowledge, and combine their expertise and resources."
• Forest History of Eastern Ontario (PDF) "The most dramatic change in forest cover in eastern Ontario has occurred in the past two centuries. Most of the original forest was used in the lumber trade or for manufacturing potash, and the land was then converted into agricultural production. As a result, there is very little old-growth forest in the region."
• Afforestation Guide for Southern Ontario (PDF) "Ontario has a rich history of afforestation dating back to the late 1800s. Over the years a great deal of knowledge and experience of what works and what doesn't for Ontario sites has been generated. Some of that knowledge has been documented in various technical notes and informal "guides" but much remains only in the minds of practitioners, passed down through mentorship and rules-of-thumb. This afforestation guide attempts to capture those documented and undocumented sources of knowledge into a single practical source."
