They are similar in their orientation to forest, water, and soil resources; both tend to inherit degraded land bases; as local resource agencies, each holds an intermediate role between residents and senior governments; each has provincially assigned management rights over lands that represent significant, often contentious, community values.

A main difference is that conservation authorities in Ontario represent a provincial-municipal partnership, in principle, based on provincial funding and technical support, while community forests are to be self-sufficient and pay Crown timber harvesting fees (or “stumpage”) to the province.
