He's shown here with some of the club members during a meeting at the St. John's Ontario's 10 provincially- operated tree nurseries produce almost 100 million trees annually in order to renew the province's forest resources. Approximately 7 million of those seedlings come from Orono, the site of a 1,350 acre nursery where future future giants of the Canadian forest are grown. Red pine, white spruce, white pine, red oak, Norway spruce, Carolina poplar, and white cedar are just a few of the species produced at Orono. Last Wednesday, February February 1, members of the Bowmanville Men's Canadian Canadian Club learned about the Orono Forest Station from Glenn McLeod, superintendent superintendent of the operation. With the aid of a slide presentation, presentation, he followed the progress of tree production from the planting of seeds to the shipping of young trees to Ontario property- owners. Between two-thirds and three-quarters of the pro- vincially-grown seedlings are destined for Northern Ontario where many are planted on government- owned land. "In southern Ontario, almost almost all of the planting is on private lands," Mr. McLeod said. He added that any Ontario resident owning owning more than five acres of land can purchase 1,000 trees at a cost of 2.5 cents each, plus $10 for handling. Trees are not sold to smaller smaller land-owners because the Province does not wish to compete with commercial commercial nurseries. Mr. McLeod noted that the cost represents only a portion of the total expense involved in growing the seedlings. The provincial • cost is between eight and 10 cents per tree, he added. Mr. McLeod reminded Canadian Club members that trees are an important part of the Canadian heritage. heritage.

Some of this land can be found on the ridge north of Orono where extensive reforestation has taken place. The Orono Forest Centre started in 1922 when it had 350 acres and produced only 500,000 to 600,000 seedlings per year. After World War II, an additional thousand acres just below Taunton Rd. were purchased. purchased. The superintendent pointed out that seeds are collected from pine and spruce cones each year and cleaned at a specialized plant. Careful attention .is paid to the locations where tree' seed was collected. This means that trees which are grown from seed taken near Sault Ste. Marie are planted in their home territory. Seedlings produced from trees near London, Ontario, would be shipped to London London for planting. "Mother nature has developed developed trees that grow better better in their own area than the ones we import from other areas," Mr. McLeod said. Tree-growing is different from many agricultural processes processes in that seeding takes place in the autumn, just before the snow falls. That's because tree seeds must go through the freezing and thawing process before germinating. germinating. Approximately six to eight weeks after the snow leaves the ground, the first tree seedlings come up and nursery staff begin the process process of watering, fertilizing and weeding. Tree-growers are happy to see a heavy snow cover during winter because that means seedlings will be protected, Mr. McLeod said. Growers are concerned about rapid freezing and thawing in the springtime because this action can heave tree seedlings out of the ground. By the end of two complete complete growing .seasons, some trees such as the jack pine and the Scotch pine are ready for transplant. Others, such as the white spruce may take four seasons. seasons. Efforts are underway, through research, to produce produce specialized trees capable capable of growing more rapidly in the Canadian climate, climate, Mr. McLeod told members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Men's Canadian Club.
