Nawiinginokiima Forest Management Corporation (NFMC)

Nawiinginokiima Forest Management Corporation (NFMC) is the Sustainable Forest Licence holder for both the Pic and White River Forest Management Units. NFMC develops management plans, manages forest operations and silviculture, and monitors compliance within these forests. NFMC manages both the Pic and White River Forest Management Units (FMUs). Collectively, these forests cover a land mass of over 1.76 million hectares! NFMC was established on May 29, 2012 after more than a year of discussions and with the support of a local working group. The group is comprised of representatives from each of the local and First Nations communities within the proposed management area, existing SFL holders and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Working together, the group shared information and made recommendations to the government for the development and establishment of NFMC. It enabled open communication as well as a strong understanding of the governance and accountability rules and requirements with regards to establishing a Crown agency under the Ontario Forest Tenure Modernization Act, 2011. Our Programs NFMC promotes economic growth throughout the forestry sector and supports local communities through our scholarship, donation and sponsorship, and strategic initiative programs.
