The Ontario Professional Foresters Association (OPFA) is dedicated to upholding the highest professional standards in forestry to actively contribute to sustainable forest management. By advocating for excellence in the field, enforcing professionalism among members, promoting continuous education, and raising public awareness about professional forestry, OPFA plays a crucial role in ensuring the responsible stewardship of Ontario's forests.

Registered Professional Foresters (R.P.F.s) lead the charge in sustainable forest management, guiding landowners in making crucial decisions related to forest activities while safeguarding forest values and human infrastructure. With over 900 members, of which around 600 are licensed to practice in Ontario, OPFA supports a diverse range of forestry careers focused on securing a healthy future for both communities and the environment.

From urban forests to private woodlots and Crown land, professional foresters work tirelessly to manage forests for various objectives such as biodiversity conservation and wood product production. Through their dedication and expertise, they ensure the long-term vitality of Ontario's forests for generations to come.
