WELCOME TO THE SMALL WOODLAND OWNERS ASSOCIATION OF MAINE!

Owning woodland is fun and rewarding.  But we know it is not always easy to find the information you are looking for or get the help you need.  Since 1975, we have been the organization that works to help, support and represent the interests of small woodland owners.

Benefits of membership include a 16 page monthly newsletter with articles written specifically for small woodland owners along latest news; access to our professional staff; advocacy before the legislature and government agencies; information about educational events we sponsor in your area; and a discount buying program.  For more information, click on the Membership tab.

We also have a growing land trust program focused on conserving working woodlands.  We showcase sustainable management techniques and practices on all the lands we own.

Welcome and we hope you enjoy our website.

Annual Appeal

A Record-Setting Appeal!!

SWOAM had the most successful Annual Appeal in the organization’s history. The final tally is in and while we fell just short of our goal, we raised $34,687 toward the goal of $35,000 – the largest response ever. Thank you to all who contributed. The Annual Appeal is vital to our ability to keep SWOAM helping, supporting, and representing small woodland owners. We are very grateful for the generous support.
