Testimonials
I am proud to support such a great organization and look forward to reading about all the positive work you all do! Although I live out west I have family members and a special old friend living in Ontario still. Thanks for all you do.

I grew up in Calgary but went to university in Ontario where I regularly visited friends on their farm. Now living in Saudi Arabia, I have many pleasant memories of the treed Ontario landscape and am proud to support an organization that is dedicated to the wise use of forests. The forests of Ontario are a resource that are, in the context of where I currently live, amazingly beautiful and absolutely priceless.

When I considered becoming a Friend of the Ontario Woodlot Association, a flood of memories filled my mind. My father had many talents, one being as a sawyer, owning his own sawmill. He purchased woodlots and in turn, taught my brother and I how and why it was important to log responsibly, not only so the forest could renew itself, but also for the animals and birds that inhabited these areas. I'm proud to be a Friend of the OWA; keep up the good work.

Member Profile

June Kennedy
in Member Profiles
June Kennedy and her late husband, Bev, bought their 147 acre woodlot in the mid-1980’s. They joined the OWA soon after its inception and Bev served on the chapter board for many years. He and June hosted chapter events at their property on several occasions.
After Bev’s passing, when June decided to sell their woodlot, she assumed she could no longer be an OWA member. Fortunately, she learned that ownership was not a criteria, and she is still on our membership list.
“I miss the woods” she says “and seeing all the wildlife, but time marches on”. She adds “I don’t get out to the OWA events as much anymore but hope to again soon.” June has many good friends made through the OWA and continues to support the organization. “I like every event; there’s always something new to learn, and above all, I enjoy the fellowship”.
