Forestry Service Planting Plans Highlight Ontario Roadsides
Ontario forestry planners map long term roadside greening prioritizing soil, drainage, visibility, erosion and climate. Winter hardiness drives plant selection with 116000 trees planted last year across Blind River and Chapleau roads including pine and spruce. Midhurst and London nurseries supplied most stock, while Kansas tolerances and low casualty rates reduce losses from vandalism and weather in a year of extensive highway planting.
