- The Wood Heat Organization
The Wood Heat Organization was formed to support the public in the responsible use of wood energy in the home. The organization fulfills its mandate by providing reliable information, by conducting research into wood heating-related issues and by representing the public interest in discussions of policies that affect wood burning. Although Woodheat is federally incorporated in Canada, and its government relations efforts are necessarily concentrated there, its mandate and activities are not confined to one country. The objective is to provide useful information to anyone who uses wood for home heating, wherever in the world they live. In practical terms, however, we admit that this Web site is largely North American-centric. In time, we hope to have content contributors from other parts of the world.
