Tree planting project hits record level

Forests Ontario is heralding a record year for the Cochrane District portion of its 50-million trees program.

The CEO of the non-profit organization says more than 300,000 trees were planted on eight sites in the district.

Those sites are owned by farmers who no longer use them.

“As long as a landowner has got a minimum of a hectare of land available to put trees on – again, open area, not previously treed,” Keen outlines, “the commitments are for them to contact our office to get lined up for next year.”
