"You have to think about your management objective," for that woodlot. That's the kind of service a consultant can offer that goes far beyond simply marking trees for sale. (Consultants also usually seek competing bids when a bush is offered for sale.) The stakes are high for midwestern Ontario woodlot owners, Roland says. "Huron, Perth and Bruce have some of the hest and highest priced maple in Ontario," he said, noting many buyers seek out the colour of the wood grown in the area. The price can be double that of maple grown elsewhere in North America, he said. Many farmers who don't pay attention to their woodlots aren't apt to know how much value they have. The Huron -Perth group was formed after a meeting in Seaforth in April, 1995. The group was encouraged by local staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Sources of woodlot information 2003 Grey -Bruce Woodlot Conference with the theme Woodlot Diversification will be held Saturday, March 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Elmwood Community Centre.
