Ontario!" That declaration was 'made recently by an Ontario lands and forests .department official, Ed. Moore. Ed is a forestry technician who serves the tri -county area of, Huroff-Perth-Oxford from the Lake Huron district fgxestry office at Stratford. A second reforestation officer was prese. t in the Stratford forestry • headquarters when this 4 correspondent called there ,recently. Howard Lancaster, a 1958 ^ graduate of New Brunswick University's faculty of foitry, also praised the reforestation work being carried . out in 'Huron county. As we discussed the subject, senior forestry official, Ed. Moore, was studying some information in a booklet published by the lands and forests departments- entitled:* "Statistical •Reference of Lands and Forests Administration- -1967." He directed our attention to some pertinent 41 statistics regarding reforestation in Huron .county in recent years. Under a table headed "Forest 'areas managed by the minister" (of lands and ts) we see th Huron . county,. by 1950, had 1,439 acres of -reforested land.. Additional reforestation in Huron county, managed by provincial forestry personnel, . under agreement with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, is shown in a separate table. Through an arrangement made with the MVCA in 1955, Huron county has another 300 'acres of young forest growing along the Maitland . river banks. The number of trees supplied to this conservation group over a 10 year period front 1956 to 1966 total's 357, 505. During the , same period, Huron county received 487,225 units; 'or seedlings, from Ontario's tree nurseries. The upsurge in the amount of private"f land in Huron county be ing reforested becomes evident when we note that 2, 303,370 trees were supplied by the department's timber branch to, individual landholders over the same decade. A branch of Huron County Council which, until 1968, was known as the "agriculture and reforestation committee," can take much of the credit for the success of private land reforestation. In 1951 Huron County Council passed a new bylaw dealing with reforestation, thereby revoking the former county policy with respect to this department. Until then, • Huron county administration had carried out reforestation by purchasing sub-marginalagricultural land from private landholders.

The maximum amount of reforestation that can be performed in any one township in one year is set at 50 acres. After a•• disappointing season last year,, this year's reforestation program in Huron will be better than average. Council officials appointed to this • branch of county administration were scheduled to meet. Friday, March 2L At this session they were to hear reports from zone forester Howard Lancaster and county agricultural representative, Ikon Pullen.. Chairman of the • 1969 development committee, (replacing the former agricutltural and reforestationcommittee) is county councillor, Roy Pattison: Roy, who also serves as reeve of 'East Wawanosh, estimated that between 50,000 and 60,000 trees would be supplied for reforestation work within` the county this year. Other members of this year's development committee are: Huron County Warden, James Hayter; Huron County engineer, James Britnell (management forester); County Councillors, Girvin Reed, Ashfield deputy reeve; William Elston, Morris reeve; Alex. McGregor, Tuckersmith deputy reeve; William Jenkins, Goderich Township deputy reeve. forestry officials,, will be working steadily tel complete the 1.969 schedule.

' program yearly One of the best examples of Huron county reforestation is the Robertson forest tract in Colborne township. Covering 176 acres,' it was planted nearly 20 years ago on land formerly _.owned _by__harles Robertson .a_ native of that township. Tree species to be found here, as elsewhere in Huron county forest tracts are: white and red pine, spruce, European larch and white cedar. One of the oldest tracts of reforestedland in Huron county, privately owned, is located east _ of High. y21—fiv.e miles north._ of Goderich. Presently owned by Hugh . and Russell Hill, this reforestation plot covers 100 acres of sub -marginal agricultural land. Planted' in 1923 by William Hill, the coniferous ' trees -growing here have progressed remarkably well. They now delivery fee which runs per thousand seedlings. • It is expected however, that the landholder will be present to help during planting. Together with the lands and forests technician, they drew up a plan best suited for the terrain. For the - majority ). of refolrestation work,'a mechanical • planter; purchased ' by Huron county in 1951,.is used.
