Copied from the CFFA Spring Newsletter:Trails in the ForestPlans are being developed to continue with trail work in the forest. As was the case last year, our focus will be on addressing areas that are prone to being wet/muddy in the Spring and after prolonged rain events. We have some success with the use of crushed stone that was provided by the MNR last year and intend to apply it to other trail sections in the forest. Related there are many trails impacted by erosion and we hope to address some problem areas as well. Finally, there are several short sections of trail in the forest that parallel each other and go to the same place. We would like to close some of these short sections to reduce the trail footprint and reduce the "bike park" feel in some parts of the forest. We need trail volunteers. If you would like to support trail work in the forest this year, then please send us an email at info@copelandfriends.ca. ... See MoreSee Less

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!
