Woodlot Owner Of The Year

Each year, fellow SNB woodlot owners nominate private woodlot owners in recognition of their outstanding efforts in managing their woodland. The award increases public awareness of the importance of forest management and encourages woodlot management among other woodlot owners.

Anyone can nominate a woodlot owner for the award. Once nominations are submitted, a review committee selects SNBFPMB’s Woodlot Owner of the Year and the award presentation takes place at the Annual Meeting, followed by a tour of the recipient’s woodlot later in the season.

Click the link here to see the nomination form and selection guidelines.

More information on previous recipients can be found on our website by clicking here.

The deadline for all applications is TODAY, Friday, April 22nd, 2022.
