There are four major partners working with the ABCA toward this goal: the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Tree Plan Canada, private landowners and five area nurser- ies. The MNR subsidizes tree plant- ing costs for those seedlings pur- chased from MNR nurseries. An example of such a grant is being coordinated from the Wingham Area office under the name Project Tree Cover. This program was de- signed to help landowners reforest their land in rural Ontario. Just this spring, the Wingham Area MNR office arranged for the planting of 400,000 trees for 66 landowners. Project Tree Cover provides: technical expertise to as- sist the landowner in preparing the reforestation project, tree seed- lings, site preparation, tree plant- ing and maintenance services, as required and project monitoring to ensure quality control. Private landowners in Huron and Perth counties interested in im- proving at least five acres of idle, marginal or highly -erodible farm- land are invited to contact the Exeter UCW hold June meeting EXETER - Alma Langford presided at the U.C.W. afternoon unit meet- ing and read several smiles.

Through Tree Plan Canada, the National Tree Foundation gave the AMCA grants to be used on three different projects. The first was a subsidized t ree planting service for 80,000 trees. The ABCA planted seedling trees on private and municipal lands by machine and hand planting through this program. Due to the announcement and advertisement of this subsidy, the number of trees planted by the ABCA rose by 30,000. Secondly, partial funding was given for planting 4,250 trees by ABCA crews on the Dinsmore Management Area recently ac- quired by the Conservation Au- thority, in Hay Swamp. The third project occurred at the Parkhill Conservation Area. Here 2000 students from seven area schools worked to plant 9,000 trees of which the cost was partial- ly covered by the National Tree Foundation. Private landowners helped to in- crease the tree cover in our area by purchasing trees through the other groups. Two -hundred and three landowners picked up seedlings and planted the trees by themselves while the ABCA planted trees for 43 landowners. These landowners paid $125/ 1.000 trees to have their trees planted by ABCA crews, as well as $0. I0/seedling; not a high cost for increasing local tree cover. Five local nurseries were distri- bution centres for larger stock trees. Two -hundred and fifty-eight people ordered trees 'through the ABCA and picked up the stock at their local nursery for windbreak and roadside plantings. These nur- series allowed people easier access to the trees, creating greater local participation in the windbreak and roadside planting programs. Through the created partnerships, landowners and local environmen- tal groups are making definite strides toward increasing tree cover in the Ausable-Bayfield watershed, an asset which will be of benefit to all.
