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.
