FORESTRY AND TOURISM
The province of Ontario crown forest is divided into geographic planning areas, known as management units. Most of the crown forest management units are managed by individual forest companies under a sustainable forest licence.
NOTO receives communication and updates on a continuous basis, keeping the organization informed on matters relating to:
- Forest Management Planning
- Harvesting
- Access and Construction
- Forest renewal and maintenance
- Monitoring and reporting
A very important link to the MNR’s website will make navigation quicker and access to essential forest information readily available. The following should be used along with the dated communication below.

UPDATES
NOTO would like to make the communication received from the forest companies and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources available on this page. It can be accessed with ease and will serve to keep Resource Based Tourist Operators in the loop when forest management plans are up for review or other matters of importance arise.
