Private Land Forestry 



This Act authorizes the Minister to enter into forestry agree- 

 ments with private landowners to reforest idle land and to 

 rehabilitate existing woodlands. The field assistance service 

 under The Woodlands Improvement Act is provided free to 

 landowners who qualify under the Act. 

 Under Regulations OC-2854/66 of The Woodlands Improve- 

 ment Act 1966, 33 management areas were designated in 

 southern Ontario. Ten were scheduled to receive benefits 

 under the program effective January 1, 1967. Management 

 Areas designated included single counties or a combination 

 of one or more counties. 



Management planning for the designated Management 

 Areas began immediately. Forestry work programs were pre- 

 pared for 164 new Woodlands Improvement Act agreements 

 in the Management Areas scheduled to receive the assist- 

 ance in 1967. In all districts, forestry advice and service 

 were provided to individual forest owners and organizations 

 to improve forestry on private lands.
