*New Date*
\nThe Official tour began in 2010\, evolving
from events for woodlot owners organized by the PEI Model Forest (Healthy
Forests\, Healthy Communities) Program. It was Wheatley River\, Hunter-Cl
yde\, and the PEI Model Forest that began the Winter Woodlot Tour\; the Ce
ntral Queens Wildlife Federation joined the organizing team in 2014\, and
the Trout River Environmental Committee joined in 2020. The site of the to
ur changes every year\, alternating between the four watershed groups invo
lved. The site for the Winter Woodlot Tour typically falls on privately ow
ned agricultural and forest land\, showcasing the diversity of Island reso
urces from farming to forestry and recreational activities. Attendance has
grown over the years\, from roughly 400 in 2010 to over 1\,200 in 2017. T
his annual event is intended to give Islanders a taste of what our forests
can do for us\, both as a sustainable resource and an important part of o
ur Island environment.
