Forests are the centre of our lives. They supply the air we breathe, they clean our water, they provide habitat for animals, and they provide opportunities to enjoy nature. They also provide the wood products that make our lives better.

#ItTakesAForest is a collaborative led by Forests Ontario and local, like-minded individuals and organizations. It aims to deliver fact-based information to the public about the role of forests and forest products in our growing economy, addressing climate change, and creating a healthier ecosystem.
