Wood available in Ontario
How to find and get available wood in Ontario.
Find available wood
The Ontario Available Wood Report:
- identifies potential wood supply opportunities for forest industry
- identifies the annual wood supply estimated to be potentially available over 10 years
- provides contact information for unit managers who can market available wood supplies
- is updated monthly
The report is intended as a guide only. Wood supplies are subject to approved forest management plans for each forest and available wood supplies change as unit managers enter arrangements with mills.
The ministry works with forest management unit managers and existing industry stakeholders to estimate the available wood supplies on each management unit in Ontario.
An updated Ontario Available Wood Report is no longer available on this page. The report including management unit contacts is now available via the Ontario Open Data Catalogue.
