The province of Alberta has a large hardwood and softwood resource growing on private wood lots. A portion of that wood is harvested and sold annually, primarily to the forest industry. The role of the Agroforestry & Woodlot Extension Society (AWES) is to help woodlot owners manage their woodlots for multiple values and with sustainability in mind. Private forestland represents about 3.6 million hectares in Alberta, or & an area about three times the size of Prince Edward Island.
