(News -Record photo) Authority to plant 135,000 trees In its continuing reforestation program, the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority will be planting about 135,000 trees this year, twice as many as last year. Each spring for the past several years, the Authority has planted trees on both private property, and their own conservation areas. The trees provided wildlife habitat, as well as protecting soils from • wind and water erosion. They provide win- dbreaks for farms, and as well as maintaining soil moisture, trees planted now can provide forest resources for the future. The Authority has a new program this year, called hand -planting subsidy, where they provide the private owner with cash if he plants his own trees on fence cor- ners, steep slopes, or other areas where machine planting is impossible. About 5,400 seedlings are expected to be planted under the new ,program, while another 44,000 will be planted on private land. The Authority also hopes to plant about another 86,000 trees on public property. As well, the Authority provides larger trees from two to three feet high for establishment or replacement of windbreaks. BUSINESSMEN.....
