The Agroforestry and Woodlot Extension Society is helping rural Western Canada make the most of its forest.

We are proud to be an organization who’s focus is empowering and supporting environmental stewards at a community level. Through project management guidance and education, AWES helps others successfully develop and deliver restoration projects, permaculture projects and agricultural plantings.
