Trees have many purposes Trees have benfits far beyond the production of wood, wildlife habitat or conservation of soil and water. Some Southern Ontario Ontario communities are beginning beginning to develop positive programmes for tree management. management. In recent years there has been increasing interest in this specialized type of forestry. forestry. Planners have experimented experimented with tree conserva- as part of the approval requirements for urban developments developments in some parts of the province, but there is as yet no definite concensus on their success. The goals of tree management in sururban areas.can be quite different than in traditional forestry. For example, an article in the June issue of the Ministry of Housing publication, "Housing Ontario" describes some of the other benefits of trees in an urban setting. The article points out the insulation insulation value of trees, both in absorbing as much as 80 percent of the incoming solar radiation in summer, which helps keep buildings cooler; and in sheltering them from the wind, which reduces heat loss. Trees have also been shown to assist in controlling dust, and dust fallout is lower during the summer and fall period when the trees are in leaf, as a result. The benefit is not just in keeping the city clean; ragweed pollen levels can be affected as well. Trees can also dampen noise levels if they are planted in wide belts, and particularly if tree cover is effectively combined with earth berms, land; scaping, or similar barriers. This concept may be valuable along noisy transportation routes, or in buffering noisy or objectionable industries. Forestry in urban locations or on small lots presents problems not encountered in Sweeping changes in agricultural éducation Agricultural education may be in for some sweeping changes in the 80's. The decade will be characterized by post-diploma courses, coop coop type programs and internships, internships, safys Dr. Clare Rennie, in charge of Agricultural Reserach and Education for the Province of Ontario. Speaking at a supper meeting meeting at Kemptville College, Rennie said he wanted all Ontario farmers to have the equivalent of a diploma. Each year Ontario needs 1200 replacement farmers. About 30 percent of these are in colleges or universities. * Though he didn't say. how he would provide a diploma for every farmer, he did point out that "young people realize the importance of education regardless of their walk in life." V Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 12th, 1980-5 it is an exciting field for landowners, and local govern- ; V - ments to contribute to their community. It. is also a field of study which still has openings for new ideas and initiative. ; Ministry of Natural Resources Resources staff receive inquiries on, many types of tree problems. Although the main objective of the Ministry's forest management program is the production of wood and wood products, management and reforestation is carried out mainly in rural areas for environmental reasons, ^oil or water conservation, or wildlife as well as timber production. Advice on forestry-related forestry-related problems in urban areas is provided by Ministry staff under * the Extension Service Program. the more usual rural locations. locations. Soils may have been disturbed and compacted; drainage disrupted, atmospheric atmospheric and other environmental environmental conditions impaired by surrounding activity. Land uses may change so quickly, that the long growth cycle of a . tree may frustrate the land- owner into looking for an easier, and quicker type' of cover. Removal of old or dead trees without damaging other structures'* is a specialized, and even a hazardous undèr- taking. Nevertheless, proper tree management has so many potential benefits, that Between 1974 and 1979 the Kemptville College tripled its enrolment iir agriculture. However, this year enrolment dipped by five percent, a trend reflected in Ontario's other agricultural c.olleges. At Kemptville the drop has been the result of fewer women and urban students enrolling in agricultural courses. Post-diploma programs may be just around the bend, Rennie told his audience composed mainly of veterinarians. veterinarians. A grain and supply course for diploma graduates has been tentatively scheduled scheduled for Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology next year. Rennie said the same type of program, would also become become available for' yeterin- ,arians. He predicted ,'an internship program for veterinarians veterinarians within the next decade. , ■ , Among other trends, will.be co-op type programs' where' students combine work and school and an increase in the number of "hands on experience'!' experience'!' type courses.
