Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre

Mission Statement:
To foster an ethic of responsible environmental stewardship, by providing educational programming and self-directed learning to educational groups, community organizations, and the public at large. In conjunction with the foregoing, to teach sustainable forestry practices that manage the social, economic, and ecological values provided by forests.

We support the concept of maintaining undisturbed forest areas as living examples of old-growth forest available for the study and appreciation of their unique cultural and scientific values.
