Our vanishing woodlands...
Forest

It's hard to imagine that most of southern Ontario was once covered by woodlands. Today woodlands are in short supply and the remaining ones are often threatened by urbanization, grazing, poor forestry practices and the spread of invasive species. To counteract these and other threats,EcoMedic will develop a management plan, outlining the best way to protect and enhance your woodlands.


Take a moment to assess the needs of your woodland...

1 Does your woodlot qualify for reduced taxes
under the MFTIP?
2 What is your management goal for your woodlot...
wildlife, firewood, timber, etc.?
3 Has your woodlot been logged or grazed recently?
4 Is there a healthy canopy, understory and ground layer?
5 Are there non-native invasive species in your woodlot?
