Trees and Forest Conservation

Norfolk has some of the highest ecological diversity of animals, plants and natural habitats in Canada. 

The DeCloet Forest features rolling hills and a creek that winds through the property's deciduous and hemlock forests.

Protect the resources you have in your property or woodlot by being informed about forest health threats.
