PRIVATE LAND FORESTRY 



The intent of the private land forestry policy is to improve 

 the management of privately-owned forest land. Ultimately, 

 the benefits of this improvement will be an increased flow 

 of better-quality logs and other products for wood-using 

 industries and greater returns to woodland owners. The 

 private land forestry program provides a free advisory service 

 to landowners on the planning and establishing of planta- 

 tions and the tending and marketing of forest crops. 



Forestry Extension Activities included the following during 

 the past year. 



Conducted tours for school groups and others at the forest 

 tree nurseries and the Ontario Tree Seed Plant. Approx- 

 imately 9,000 school children participated. 



Instructional tours for landowners with agreements under 

 The Woodlands Improvement Act. 



Co-operation in the preparation and manning of exhibits 

 at the C.N.E., the Ottawa C.C.E.A., the London Fair and the 

 Royal Winter Fair. Districts prepared and manned over 60 

 exhibits at local fairs and exhibitions. 



Co-operation with the Ontario Department of Agriculture 

 and Food in providing guidance to the Ontario Maple Syrup 

 Producers' Association. 



Revision and production of publications required to in- 

 terest and instruct landowners in essentials of private land
