"In 1953, ten-year-old Paul and his family immigrated to Norfolk County from Belgium. The family did well growing tobacco, and Paul continued in this business for some time before switching to Christmas trees. In the 1980s, he bought a few parcels of land, including those that make up the Paul DeCloet Forest, where he began restoring the natural cover ... The Paul DeCloet Forest is situated in Canada’s Carolinian Zone, the most biodiverse region in the country. It is close to the internationally recognized Long Point Biosphere Region, as well as Backus Woods, the highest quality old growth forest remaining in Ontario.
