The Real Deal: How Long Point Eco Adventures is using Active Forest Management and Certification to Build Community and Ecological Resilience

Join the Norfolk Woodlot Owners Association (aka Norfolk OWA Chapter) for a tour of a Carolinian forest and learn about the forest certification process.

Overlooking the Turkey Point Marsh on Long Point’s Inner Bay, Long Point Eco Adventures (LPEA) is an exemplar of how private business and community groups can come together to restore forests and grasslands, all while providing tourism and local economic and community development. The facilities at LPEA provide opportunities and space for educational and community groups, local events, and for individuals and families to enjoy the beauty of the Long Point area. 

LPEA recently worked with Glen Prevost of the Ontario Woodlot Association (OWA) to develop a forest management plan and to get their Carolinian forest certified to Forest Stewardship Council Standards (FSC). These actions have helped to coordinate LPEA efforts to restore a high-graded forest and old agricultural fields and ensure all activities use best practice.

The onsite Marshview Patio restaurant will be open if you are interested in enjoying a meal or beverage before or after the tour.

This tour will be an amazing fall afternoon spent next to one of the ecological gems of the Great Lakes.

This event is RAIN or SHINE
