Climate change is happening now with some of us already experiencing the impacts. We are all facing uncertainties as forests and ecosystems are changing due to climate change. In the face of these challenges, we have developed an instructional course focused on assessing and adapting the management of woodlots to projected climate change impacts.
We hope that through participation, landowners and forest practitioners will further develop their knowledge of potential impacts and adaptations to the unique challenges of climate change. By doing so we can work towards creating resiliency on the landscape and in society to face future uncertainties and disturbances.
The Ontario Woodlot Association and our partners at the Climate Risk Institute are proud to deliver this educational opportunity to OWA members and the public.

2026 OWA Conference and Tour Passing It On: Succession and Knowledge Transfer April 11 and 12, 2026
Woodlot owners invest significantly in their forests. Forest stewardship takes sweat, gumption, and money. Their hope is simple: healthy woods that endure long into the future.
There are many aspects to consider when planning for succession. This year’s conference will take a grounded look at that process in action. Sessions will explore ownership transitions, tax implications, and practical tools that help families and future stewards make decisions with confidence.
Knowledge transfer will guide the program throughout. We will look at how teachings move between generations and how memory lives in the land, shaped by Indigenous ways of knowing that broaden our understanding of responsibility and relationship.
Whether you have tended your woodlot for decades, recently stepped into ownership, or fall somewhere in between, there will be value here for you. We look forward to gathering together with you in April.
