Provincial Scale

Some of AFER’s work spans more than one region within Ontario. For example, our report on significant eastern hemlock forests in Southern Ontario spans the distance from the Windsor-Long Point Region in the southwest through to the Thousand Islands Region in the northeast. And our report on roadless areas includes the entire Province of Ontario. We strive to provide forest conservation science that informs the most pressing issues facing society, and that can be used to effect the changes required to meet these challenges. Many of these changes must happen at the provincial level through restoration and creation of legislation that matches the immense value of natural ecosystems to achieving a version of sustainability that carries into the future based on maintaining a healthy, functional earth.
