THE TREE FARM MOVEMENT The Tree Farm Movement in Can ada has as its slogan ’’Growing more wood on privately-owned land". This crusade is being sponsored by the National Tree Farm Committee of the Canadian Forestry Association and has far reaching possibilities for woodlot owners, pulp and paper pro ducers and local forest industries. Although many of. the small wood lot owners have been making a defin ite effort to handle trees like a crop in recent years, the surface has hard ly been scratched and bad manage ment is still the rule rather than the exception. In Southern Ontario, it is estimated that five million privately owned acres of timber potential is now producing at perhaps one tenth of its optimum/ Much the same con ditions exist in other- provinces, thus creating innumberable possibilities and making the tree farm movement so important. Since the inception of the move ment in Canada in 1953, approximate ly 150,000 acres of woodland have been certified by the National Tree Farm Committee with 50 tree farmers listed as owners. One notable fact is that the greatest interest and success has been attained in those parts of the pro vinces where years of background activity have been contributed by ex tension Foresters. Throughout the province, local Tree Farm Committees have been set up or are in the process of being organ ized to assist the National Committee and receive co-operation from the Division of Reforestation in encour aging small woodlot owners to have their woodlands inspected and certi fied as Tree Farms. This means the owner must comply with the follow- viz. 1. Agree to maintop their woodlands for growing forest crops, 2. Agree to protect their woods ade quately, 3. Agrep that cutting practices will be satisfactory to ensure future for est crops. 4. Agree to allow Committee’s For esters to inspect their Tree Farms, In addition to any advice provided by committee Foresters, Tree Farm Committees have booklets, bulletins, film strips, movies and posters avail able in offices across Canada. These will help you to learn to manage your Tree Farm for continuous crops of forest products.
