Forestry is a major part of the history and economy in the Woodlands County area!

One of the greatest way to learn about the industry is by visiting the E.S.Huestis Demonstration Forest.

The Forest is located just minutes from Whitecourt (13 km northwest on Highway 32). 

It provides a 10-square km forest area that shows how a forest can sustain recreation, wildlife habitat and resource harvesting over an extended period of time. 

This would be the perfect outing for individuals who are passionate about the environment, or for those with a general interest in the forestry practices that have shaped the Woodlands County region and the province of Alberta. 

A 7 km trail (one-way) will guide you through the forest where you will learn something new at each of the 26 interpretive signs. You can walk, run, bike or drive the trail.

Tours are offered between May and August.
