Under this cooperative arrangement, the landowner participates in the management program and agrees to inaintain and protect the woodlot or plantation for 15 years. It is one of several prograins designated to encourage good forest management on private lands. Fifteen percent of the productive forest land in Ontario, some 5.9 million hectares, is privately owned. "Privately owned forest lands contribute significantly to the qualîty of life in Ontario as they are mestly located close to the high population areas," said Alec Denys, manager of M.N.R.'s private land forestry prograin. Privately owned forests provide many benefits to the residents of Ontario including beautiful wooded landscapes, wildlife, habitat, dlean air and water, jobs and forest products. "Everyone has a stake in ensuring these private woodlands remain healthy and continue to provide these important benefits," said Denys. He added that Its been an outstanding success with more than 28 million trees planted annually and 260,000 hectares of woodland under agreement." In Lindsay District, some 380,000 hectares of forest are privately owned and 16,000 hectares are under agreement with M.N.R. "This year we have planted 550,000 trees on W.1A. Agreement properties," said Paul Strassburger, Lindsay District Manager. The Lindsay District Office offers a number of private land forestry services to private landowners. Staff provide landowners with advice on conservation, wildlife habitat, woodlot management, reforestration, harvesting, product marketing, tree insect and disease identifications and control measures. In addition, private landowners with more than two hectares can purchase tree nursery seedlings below cost to encourage tree establishment. And the Managed Forest Tax Rebate program provide for municipal tax rebates for eligible managed forest land as an incentive for good management.
