Any trees on your property, regardless of their size, are part of your woodlot. This includes naturally occurring trees as well as ones you planted yourself.
Why Manage your Woodlot?
Woodlots are managed for several reasons:
To produce products such as lumber, pulp wood, posts, wild food and decorative materials.
To complement existing crop and/or livestock production (agroforestry).
To enhance wildlife habitat.
To provide recreational opportunities.
Many owners manage their woodlots for more than one purpose. The Woodlot Association of Alberta can provide you with information to help you understand the value of your woodlot resource and develop an integrated management plan to enhance its potential.
