About Us

The Friends of the Petawawa Research Forest, Inc. was established by a group of volunteers in 2002 to:

  • create awareness of the valuable potential of the Petawawa Research Forest (PRF) for continuing scientific study, education, and public recreation

  • generate support for the PRF through a non-political, non-profit organization with charitable status and which is at arms-length from the government

  • help secure the viability and future of the PRF

  • promote environmental awareness among children and youth through formal instruction and hands-on opportunities

The Friends of the Petawawa Research Forest is comprised of regular members and a Board of Directors, all of whom volunteer their time. Our membership includes citizens from Renfrew County and beyond, as well as interested persons from industry, government, other non-profits, and academia. The common thread of our membership is our love of the Research Forest and all the natural things which it encompasses.
