The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority is encouraging landowners to think about tree planting for spring 2012 - many options are available. Consider purchasing tree seedlings (a minimum of 25) to plant at your leisure, or have tree seedlings planted for you by the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (minimum of 500).
Funding is available to assist in the purchase and/or planting of tree seedlings. The Clean Water – Healthy Land Financial Assistance Program can cover 50% of the cost of a minimum of 500 seedlings to a maximum of $2,500.00. Funding is also eligible to those landowners who plant more than 1 hectare or 2.5 acres of land.
If you want to avoid winter this year consider planning for a spring tree plant project with help from the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.
For more information on how you can participate in the 2012 tree seedling program or funding programs, contact Pam Lancaster, Stewardship Technician at 905-885-8173 x 247 or plancaster@grca.on.ca.
