Tax plan benefits
forests for future
By David Olinger, for the
Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources
Landowners in southern Ontario
and across the province are gaining
a better appreciation for their
forested property and receiving a
tax break while they’re at it.
The Managed Forest Tax
Incentive Program, introduced by
the province in January 1998,
allows qualifying landowners to
have their forested property
reassessed and taxed at 25 per cent
of the residential rate - similar to
farmland.
In exchange, they submit a
Managed Forest Plan which
provides a detailed description of
how they will actively manage their
forest over the next five years and
also provides a overview of their
long-term goals (over a 20-year
period) for the property.
The plan must be approved by a
government-authorized Managed
Forest Plan Approver. As well,
every five years a review and
update of the plan must occur.
Future generations of Ontarians
are assured of better managed and
sustainable private forests as a
result of this voluntary stewardship
program.
And many landowners say they
are gaining far more than the tax
break from the program.
The program’s eligibility
requirements include: that the
forested area in the plan cover at
least four hectares (10 acres),
excluding all residences, that there
be a minimum number of trees per
hectare, that the forest be all on one
property tax roll and that the land
must be owned by a Canadian
citizen, corporation, partnership or
conservation authority.
The program is a partnership
between the Ministry of Natural
Resources, the Ontario Forestry
Association (OFA) and the Ontario
Woodlot Association (OWA).
More information can be obtained
by contacting the OFA at (416)
493-4565 (web address:
http://www.oforest.on.ca) or the
OWA at (613) 258-0110 (web

assoc.org).
County seeks study funding
Huron County will seek provin
cial funding for the first stage of a
$240,000 study into the quality of

battery blitz
Huron County 4-H members and
leaders are again collecting the
spent lead acid batteries to raise
funds for the program.

make the home and farm
environment a safer place as well
as help the local 4-H youth
program.

underground aquifers and are back
ing the study which the Ministry of
Environment’s Ground Water Pro
tection Fund will support for 75 per
cent of the costs.
The first $40,000 pilot study
would would set out the methods
under which the study would be
conducted. The second $160,000
phase would see more test wells
drilled at key locations. The third
$40,000 phase would compile and
analyze information collected from
the sentinel wells situated around
