Ausable Bayfield Conser- vation has announced the spring tree order form is now online at abca.on.ca. The conservation authority receives mail -in orders until Jan. 31, 2016. Orders are taken accompanied by pay- ment until Monday, Feb. 29, 2016. Landowners plant tens of thousands of trees through the spring and autumn tree order programs but the spring program is the largest of the two, said Ian Jean, Forestry and Land Stewardship Specialist with Ausable Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority (ABCA). Peo- ple in the watershed buy trees for conservation pro- jects such as windbreaks, watercourse buffers, refor- estation of erosion -prone slopes, or tree planting on marginal agricultural lands. "We have spring and fall tree order programs but spring is the bigger season by far," according to Jean. Copies of the tree order form can be found and printed from abca.on.ca or they are avail- able at the office at 71108 Morrison Line, just east of Exeter and south of Highway 83. Grant programs are availa- ble for projects such as wind- breaks, watercourse buffers and larger scale reforestation projects that cover between 50 per cent and 100 per cent of the project costs, depending on the type of project and availability of local funding programs. Staff at Ausable Bayfield Conservation work on behalf of landowners to access applicable funding programs where they exist. Landowners pay the costs of the trees but in many cases there are cost -share programs to help local people with some or all of the cost of planting projects. For more information on grant programs or ordering trees phone 519-235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610. You may find the tree order form by visiting the website at abca.on.ca.
