List of management units (MUs) in Ontario (2026–2027)

For the purposes of forest management, Ontario’s Crown forest is divided into geographic planning areas known as MUs. FMPs are prepared for each of these MUs and are periodically renewed based on the forest management planning cycle.

A small-scale map showing the general location of each MU is included. For information on a specific MU or FMP, contact the lead district indicated in the list.

This list is prepared annually as required by the Forest Management Planning Manual 2024.
