While Ethiopia had 80 percent tree cover at the turn of the century, now they only have six percent of their land covered by trees. However, the countryside within the jurisdiction of the ABCA has an even lower average — around five per cent.__ A healthy environment requires at least 10 percent tree cover to provide good water quality, control soil erosion, provide food and shelter for wildlife, and produce oxygen. Reforestation is a popular development project in Ethiopia, just as it is here. Every year, landowners, the ABCA and other agencies work together to increase the amount of tree cover. This year, the ABCA was involved with the planting or distribution of 386,000 trees throughout its 1,000 square mile area of jurisdiction. The goal of the Authority's program this year was to work with as many landowners as possible to get a variety of sites planted. The Authority planted trees for 67 clients and nearly 200 people picked up 140,000 trees at the ABCA and planted them themselves. Why did people want to plant trees this year? According to the program's supervisor Steve Harbum, many projects were under the Permanent Cover II (PCII) program funded by Agriculture Canada and administered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association. Landowners received grants to take fragile land such as eroded hillsides and unused land out of production. "Crop yields on those lands were poor because much of the topsoil had already been eroded," said Mr. Harburn. "Windbreaks were planted on sandy, erodible lands to protect their crops and preserve the thin layer of topsoil." Conservation Authority r.:aaza‘g went smoothly this year. "Ail our planting was done in three weeks. In addition to one ABCA machine- planting crew, two contractors were . hired. Seventeen hand planters were hired and did a very good job," Mr. Harburn. Weather which is good for vacations is not always best for the survival of young seedlings. Mr. The Children's Aid Society continues a tradition of caring for children who need help in Huron County. Foster parents are one of the backbones of the service. They provide caring, stable homes to approximately 60 children through- out our community. Foster parents for the Children's Aid Society of Huron County are part of a professional team which provides temporary care for children in our county who are under 16 years of age. Foster parents receive training and are paid monthly. If you are interested in considering fostering for your family, your Children's Aid Society needs you. You will not be asked to make a commitment until you have heard information from exper- ienced foster parents and social workers. At all times you have complete control over which child stays in your home. Please consider calling or attending an information meeting sponsored by The Children's Aid Society of Huron County. It is to be held at our main office on Tuesday, July 6 at 7:30 p.m. at 220 Huckins Street, Goderich. If you would like additional information or wish to register for this meeting, please call Peggy Denomme or the Resource PRO Model 175 32 cc straight shaft trimmer Plus Free Oil Mix Bottle While Supplies Last GLEN SAWS RR 3 Clinton Bus. 4829292 Home 233-3175_1 Harburn says that the hot, dry weather in May could decrease survival rates. The trees that were planted later in May may have better success due to adequate rainfall. At sites planted by the ABCA, staff apply herbicide to control vegetation which competes with young trees for necessary nutrients. Because of this spring's windy weather, the ABCA is behind its schedule of applying herbicides and this may also have a negative influence on survival. Authority staff provide free technical advice for landowners who are interested in planting trees. They can visit your property and suggest species which are best suited for your site and reasons for planting trees. "Our watersheds really need the trees. To do this, landowners, municipalities, the province and other agencies all need to make the commitment to establishing a healthy tree cover that will benefit the environment," says Mr. Harbum. "The challenge is large, but meeting the challenge is vital if we are going to pass on a good quality of life to future generations."
