Each year, fellow SNB woodlot owners nominate private woodlot owners in recognition of their outstanding efforts in managing their woodland. The award increases public awareness of the importance of forest management and encourages woodlot management among other woodlot owners.
Join us on Sunday, October 20th, for the 2024 Woodlot Owner of the Year Award Tour, celebrating Harold Keith and family.
The tour will involve a hike through the woods with numerous conversation points on boundary line maintenance, road access, commercial thinning opportunities, climate resilient species, maple syrup production, and other forest management topics. A live demo of a slasher will take place as well. The tour starts at 2:00PM and will be followed by a BBQ with refreshments and door prizes.

Congratulations to Harold Keith on receiving the "2024 Woodlot Owner of The Year Award" for the SNB Marketing Board region! Harold and his family have been managing his property for several decades. Currently the Keiths have continued to complete forest management activities year after year.
Harolds property boast and incredible trail network which he has constructed himself over the years. The trail network is maintained using the many pieces of equipment Harold has accumulated during the time he has been managing the property. Every winter Harold begins meticulously harvesting timber to improve the property and meet the forest management goals for the woodlot. The Keith family has also developed a small maple syrup operation and this past season four generations of Keith’s took part in the production of maple syrup. Harold continues to exemplify good land stewardship and quality forest management activities.
