Make the most of your trees! Agroforestry & Woodlot Extension Society is busy out in our community working to bringing organizations and people together to develop and plant trees for generations to come. Want to learn more about the benefits of trees? Join one of our free workshops or visit our webpage for info on volunteering in a community planting project near you. Our tree experts are spreading the word on great tree services to help you make the most of your woodlot, shelterbelt, or any other form your trees may take. AWES is an organization that values each individuals unique contributions and capacity. Our team strives for transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in all aspects of our operations. As an women run organization, in a male dominated field, we understand the value in making a place at the table for everyone. Our programs, hiring, competitive bid process, and granting framework, prioritize individuals and organizations who like us, value strong environmental and social governance. This includes priority to rural, local SME’s, under represented groups including Indigenous Peoples, women, persons with disabilities, youth, LGBTQ+, newcomers to Canada, and visible minorities.
