The Forests and Treed Swamps Working Group collaborates to address forest fragmentation, invasive forest species, and the degradation of interior treed wetlands, ensuring these systems remain well-functioning within the Long Point Walsingham Forest (LPWF) Priority Place.

• Identifying areas with low forest connectivity and improving habitat and forest cover through tree planting on private lands.
• Implementing a project to monitor water levels in treed wetlands on both private and public lands.
• Engaging woodlot owners, the forestry industry, and the public to raise awareness and promote Species at Risk Best Management Practices.
• Developing and implementing a model for invasive species control on private and public lands.

Partner organizations involved in this group include ALUS Norfolk, Birds Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, Long Point Basin Land Trust, Long Point Region Conservation Authority, Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Norfolk County, Norfolk Woodlot Owner’s Association, and St. Williams Conservation Reserve Community Council.
