If I see or have seen a problem with a harvest operation ie; cutting trees across a property line, creek, nesting area, etc. – what do I do?
Unfortunately, there remain landowners and loggers who disregard the efforts the NWOA, local loggers and Norfolk County have established to conserve our forest resources. Norfolk County pro-actively works with all woodlot owners and loggers to ensure they do not contravene the Forest Conservation By-law. If you have an issue with a timber harvest operation which you feel is a contravention of the Forest Conservation By-law, it is best to call the Norfolk Forest Conservation Service right away. If the timber harvest operation is illegal, it is important for By-law Enforcement Officers to act quickly – as many unscrupulous loggers move in and out of an area quickly and have little regard for good forestry practice. To report questionable timber harvest operations or destruction/clearing of forest cover please call any time at 519-426-5999, ext. 600 to speak to a Forest Conservation By-law Officer.
