More than half is natural bush; some of it relatively recent and some dating from the time of the first settlement in the 1800's. About 15 hectares was thinned 4 years ago. The major part was in bush that had not been cut in over 40 years. The rest was a first thinning of the red pine planted in the 70's.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note: </span>Tony will have a pot of chili on and baguettes for those who can stay for lunch after the tour.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7989729324558831403-6865827692042335474?l=renfrewcountywoodlotassociation.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Renfrew County Woodlot Associationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989729324558831403.post-19529487369909044152009-06-22T10:17:00.000-07:002009-06-22T10:34:43.319-07:00This year the school program involved St. Michael's and Admaston schools.
