For Landowners

Protect Your Land From Invasive Species

The Ontario Invasive Plant Council has a wealth of resources to help protect conservation properties from Invasive Plants - a growing concern as we feel the effects of climate change in the A2A.
​Link to the Council here.

Reforesting Your Land

Picture
Forests Ontario's 50 Million Tree program is designed to significantly reduce landowner's costs of large-scale tree planting. We work alongside local tree planting agencies in Ontario, including regional Conservation Authorities and local stewardship councils to implement this program. Planting agencies work directly with landowners to determine site eligibility, allocate funding and coordinate planting. The landowner and site requirements are:
  1. Have a productive area at least one hectare in size; smaller areas may be considered depending on the landscape context
  2. Ensure land is open or mostly open and has not been a woodland as defined by the Forestry Act since December 31, 1989.
  3. Sign a 15-year management agreement to maintain the trees
  4. Employ good forestry practices
  5. May have to assume some of the additional costs for trees, to implement the plan and to maintain the trees

Wildflower seed grants

Every year this organization provides wildflower seed grants to landowners and organizations.
