County staff says tree bylaws are increasing
public use of professional foresters
Laura Broadley

The Huron County council
chambers' gallery was filled with
a crowd at the April 20 commit-
tee meeting to hear what coun-
cil had to say about tree man-
agement in the county.
The Ontario Association of
Responsible Tree Management
(OARTM) formed a year ago to
explore whether there were
alternatives to tree cutting
bylaws in Huron County.
In her presentation Moyer
said the current tree bylaws
encourage neighbourhood
feuds. She also said the cur-
rent system promotes penal-
ties and sanctions, whereas it
should encourage rewards
and benefits. People are
resorting to desperate meas-
ures, which have an economic
impact on the community
when there are legal costs
involved.
The alternative is to look at
trees as a crop. Working together
to solve problems before they
develop into legal proceedings
can benefit everyone, Moyer
said.
OARTM produced a sample
bylaw that it says will help create
a system of incentives and coop-
eration among landowners,
contractors, consultants and the
municipality. The bylaw
includes the introduction of a
new staff position whose role
would be to play an advisory
role for landowner -based forest
management.
Central Huron Mayor Jim
Ginn said that to replace a vol-
unteer organization, like the
woodlot association, with a paid
position was misguided.
Instead, there are several
resources already at the county
level.
The OARTM requested that
council ask for a staff report
that look at its sample bylaw
and see if there it holds any
merit.
A review of the Huron
County Forestry Services Pro-
gram revealed that between
2001 and 2015, the number of
property owners using profes-
sional foresters for commercial
harvest advice had increase by
30 per cent, a press released
stated.
"We're continuing to see an
increase in calls from woodlot
owners who want to get gen-
eral advice and information on
forest management," forest
conservation officer, Dave Pul-
len, said in a press release.
"These numbers demonstrate
the commitment of Huron
County landowners to manag-
ing their woodlots in a sustain-
able way."
Huron County council passed
the first tree bylaw in 1947.
HPHA-Seaforth Community Hospital and Huron Community
Family Health Team focus of German study tour
The Seaforth Community
Hospital and Huron Community
Family Health Team Focus of
German Study Tour
On Tuesday, April 12. The
Huron Perth Healthcare Alli-
ance (HPHA) - Seaforth Com-
munity Hospital
Site and the Huron Commu-
nity Family Health Team played
host to 24 participants of a visit-
ing Study Group made up of
physicians, professors and
health care leaders from Robert
Bosch Stiftung in Germany.
Robert Bosch Stiftung, a
major German Foundation, has
a primary focus on health and
the ongoing challenge of offer-
ing a growing number of people
with chronic disease and
multiple health conditions
optimal care, both now and in
the future.
"This is the second time
we've hosted a group from
Robert Bosch Stiftung," says
Anne Campbell, Vice Presi-
dent of Partnerships & Patient
Experience. "The overall aim
of this tour was for the group
to see and learn from our
patient -centred approaches to
primary and long-term care in
Ontario."
On Tuesday this group
toured both the Seaforth Com-
munity Hospital and the
Huron County Family Health
Team along with attending a
presentation that spoke to
characteristics of good care
including; patient orientation,
working relationships, com-
munication, E -Health solu-
tions, community partners and
health promotion.
The study group's participants
are part of a new program the
Stiftung launched last year
called the "PORT - Patient -Ori-
ented Centres for Primary and
Long -Term Care." PORT aims to
support the continued develop-
ment and setting up of local,
comprehensive German health
centres.
While in Ontario the group
will also spend time touring
Family Health Teams and
Health Centres in Guelph,
Kitchener, Woolwich and
Toronto.
