The Copeland Forest is a 4,400 acre Resource Management Area  in Simcoe County, Ontario,  Canada, owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests. The size, beauty, and unfettered use of the forest by a wide variety of recreational users inspired an initiative to conserve the natural integrity of the forest and facilitate compatible recreational use.

In October 2015 the Copeland Forest Friends Association formed a Non-Profit Corporation, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the MNRF, and began offering memberships. The organization has been structured to ensure that all of the major recreational user groups are represented equally. There are many ways to join us including becoming a member, volunteering, making a donation, and signing up for our newsletter. We look forward to seeing you in the forest!

St. John’s and St. Paul’s Anglican churches Remove Garlic MustardTHANK YOU for Partnering with the Copeland Forest FriendsMembers from the two Anglican churches in Craighurst and Midhurst, led by Rev. Andrew Kuhl, cleared the Left Bank and its valley of Garlic Mustard this spring.Studies have designated this huge unbroken area as exceptional for its massive diversity of spring ephemerals and as a breeding ground of amphibians and birds.Thank you for committing to protect this section of our beautiful earth, the Copeland’s upland deciduous forest. With this volunteer effort the local churches have joined a global initiative of Anglican churches to preserve biodiversity from the Solomon Islands to India.Next year we look forward to more excursions. We’ll post the pull dates in advance so everyone can view and help out in this area of amazing wildflowers. ... See MoreSee Less

Georgian Bay Hunters + Anglers Remove Garlic MustardTHANK YOU for Partnering with the Copeland Forest FriendsThe Georgian Bay and Barrie Hunters and Anglers know that everyone benefits from a healthy forest. Conservation is their focus and so is the threat of a monoculture of Garlic Mustard.M & M is required: Muscle and Motivation.The Angler and Hunter volunteers from Georgian Bay and Barrie knew how to deal with the sky-high amount of Garlic Mustard this year. Based on the number and weight of bags, the volunteers were out to bag a #1 medal. . . Or create a new compost bin lower down on the Maui Wowie trail to make removal easier next year.The Hunters and Anglers have participated every year in the Copeland Friends Garlic Mustard Project. They welcome anyone to join them in this dynamic event. We’ll publish the date next year. Ask them anything as well. Maybe even get their innovative recipe for Garlic Mustard Mustard.Thank you to Rob Burston, Karl and Annette Gostick for your support and leadership. ... See MoreSee Less
