Description
The Canadian Model Forest Network (CMFN) includes Canada’s 11 Model Forests and three Special Project
Areas. But these numbers do not tell the whole story. The Network also brings
together hundreds of partners that are involved with one or more Model Forests across the country. These
partners include, for example, private citizens, forest companies, parks, Aboriginal
communities, provincial governments and universities.
One of the Network’s key partner organizations, Natural Resources Canada – Canadian Forest Service,
provides primary funding and the Secretariat for the CMFN. Additional support for each
Model Forest comes from within its partnership. These partners contribute funding and/or expertise,
and are the driving force in the success of every Model Forest.
Beyond strengthening alliances between Model Forests, the CMFN works to raise the profile of Model Forests
in Canada, supports national initiatives that address topics relevant to all Model
Forests and develops publications that enhance both of these activities. The CMFN also work as a liaison
between Canada’s Model Forests and the International Model Forest Network.
