Arboretum to be planted in Crediton CREDITON - The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, landowners, municipalities and the Prov- ince of Ontario have been working together to plant trees to improve our environment since 1953. To recognize this partnership, the ABCA is planting an arboretum at Crediton Conservation Area and holding a dedication ceremony on November 7 a 2 pan. On November_2.. a.ciass from South Huron District High SeiooI in Exeter will be planting over 30 trees that vltill.icomprise the main arbore- sum: he ceremony on November 7 wili..include planting four trees ;by vcpeeaentatives of the local landowners,. the ABCA, municipali- ties and the Province. A sign will be unveiled and people will have a chance to learn about the trees that have been .planted. Refreshments will.also be served. While commemorating 40 years of planting trees, the arboretum will fulfill two other important functions. Firstly, school and interest groups can use the area for tree identification lessons. Secondly, most trees in -the arboretum are sold through the ABCA's programs, so that down the road, people can see what the maturing trees will look like before they purchase the seedlings or trees. "We chose Crediton Conservation •Areas for a few reasons. It's ', 1 ty's area_of jurisdiction. it's highly visible on pi .lr'ttamdiinpigwlral€part of Hay Stew, a provin- c y > nrfrtant; -wetland where the Authority planted trees through ' our programs or have an interest in trees," said Monk. Anyone wish- ing to attend, should call the ABCA at 235-2610 by November 4. "We're preparing a brochure on the arboretum which includes in- formation on the trees, where they grow best and their uses," said Monk. The brochure will be distributed that day and will also be available from the administration centre at Morrison Dam CA. The Authority's local efforts in tree planting started in hay Swamp in 1953. By that time, much of the swamp had been cleared for farming. By 1956. the Authority had pumhaaed 1,231 acres in Hay Swamp, a 300 acre Shipka area tract and 600 acres in Bosanquet and West Williams townships for Agreement Forests (owned by the Authority and managed by the Ministry of Natural Resources - the farmer De- partment of Lands and Forests). To get young people involved in tree planting, the ARCA atga- nized Arbour Days in different watershed municipalities. They also purchased a tree planting machine which was supplied free of cost to any watershed resident who wanted to plant an area of four acres or more. One cent per tree was paid to landowners who planted trees by hand. This year. the Authority was involved with the planting or distri- bution of 360.000 trees throughout the 1,000 square mile area of ju- risdiction. "We can all be proud of the forty years that landdwners have been planting trees with the Conservation Authority. We hope to get a good crowd of people out to help us celebrate," said Monk.
