been prepared to provide an overview of the
forest resources in Hastings County while
providing some guidance to assist landowners in
managing their forested properties.
Message from Stewardship Council
Description of County
Hastings County has historically and continues
to support a strong forest-based economy. As a
large and diverse County, most of the forest
resource is located in the central and northern
sections of the County while many of the jobs
are located in processing facilities situated in the
south.
Regardless of the sector, the single most
important component of all forest-based
industries is the local forest resource and its
capacity to supply a sustainable source of forest
products over time. Creating awareness at the
industrial and
community levels is
essential to
maintaining the
quality and
productivity of our
forest resources.
In 2005 Hastings
Stewardship
Council established
a forest
management
steering committee
to provide
leadership and
direction on local
forest management priorities. The quality of our
forests is a priority for the Hastings Stewardship
Council and for our local communities. In
Hastings County we have the expertise and the
resources to keep our forests in a healthy and
productive condition and we encourage
landowners to seek out that expertise and work
with the local forest industry to manage your
woodlots effectively.
An important goal of the Hastings Stewardship
Council is to promote responsible land
stewardship and to advance the concept and
practice of sustainable forest management on
private lands in the County. The following has
The County of Hastings is situated in eastern
Ontario and is approximately 5,977.64 km2 in
size, starting at the shores of the Bay of Quinte
on Lake Ontario and stretching northward 145
km to the lower reaches of Algonquin Park.
Highway 62 is the main north-south route
playing an important role in the flow of goods
and services through the County. Access across
the County is provided by Highway 28 in the
north while Highway 7 and 401 provide the eastwest travel routes in the southern section.
The population of the
County is estimated to
be 130,474 based on
the 2006 census.
Belleville (48,821)
and Quinte West
(42,697) are the main
urban centres. There
are several smaller
villages such as
Tweed, Madoc,
Marmora and Stirling
in the south while
Bancroft (3,838) is the
largest northern
community in
Hastings County.
Due to its position and length (approx. 145 km)
the County lies within two main ecological site
regions. An eco-region boundary typically
follows major climatic divisions resulting in
similar vegetation patterns and plant succession
within each ecological zone. The central and
northern sections of the County are located
within the Georgian Bay Site Region (5E) while
the lower section lies within the Lake SimcoeRideau Site Region (6E). As a result, the
County has a tremendous range of biodiversity.
The County straddles the rugged terrain of the
Canadian Shield in the north and the rolling
2
farmlands in the south. The landscape of the
central and northern sections of the County is
characterized by rough terrain, significant forest
cover and plentiful lakes and rivers. The terrain
features of the southern portions of the County
are much gentler and are well suited for
agricultural use.
Lakes and rivers are important landscape
features and contribute to the natural beauty of
Hastings County. The County is
situated within the Moira, Crowe
and York River watersheds. The
headwaters of the Moira River
originate in the central portion of the
County flowing south into the Bay
2
of Quinte. The Crowe River
originates in the upper reaches of
the County and flows southward
draining into the Trent River that
winds its way into the Bay of
Quinte. The York River cuts across
the top of the County in an easterly
direction to eventually head north to
flow into the Madawaska River that drains into
the Ottawa River.
State of Forestry in Hastings County
Human activities (settlement patterns, logging)
and natural disturbances (fire, wind, ice, insects)
have played a significant role in shaping the
forests of Hastings County. Land clearing for
farming and expanding settlements throughout
the 1800’s, along with the intensive extraction of
timber to supply the Royal Navy in England with
ship-building material and to satisfy the
emerging lumber markets in the USA greatly
altered our forested landscape. Large repetitive
fires also made significant contributions to
altering the landscape. Drought, insects and
disease along with wind and ice have also
influenced the forests of the County in the past.
These forces of nature continue to sculpt the
forested landscape as demonstrated by the large
ice storm that blanketed eastern Ontario and
Quebec in the mid 1990’s and the wind storms
that rolled through the County in 2001 and 2006.
These natural disturbances continue to change
the species composition, age and structure of the
forests. Landowners and resource managers
must be prepared to undertake adaptive
management approaches while ensuring
sustainable forestry objectives remain a common
long-term goal.
The area of Ontario is estimated to be 107.6
million hectares and is a province of forest
(65%) and water (28%). There are four forest
regions in Ontario each having their own
characteristics and species makeup. These are
briefly described below.
1
3
4
1) The Hudson Bay Lowlands
covers 25.8 million hectares
containing 20% of Ontario’s
forest and is located in the
northern reaches of the province.
This forest region is home to
caribou, polar bear, arctic fox
and arctic hare, Canada and
snow geese. It is generally
comprised of stunted black
spruce and tamarack.
2) The Boreal Forest blankets 49.8 million
hectares (containing 59% of Ontario’s forest)
and is part of an extended forest region that is
found across northern Canada. The Boreal Forest
consists primarily of coniferous species such as
white and black spruce, jack pine, balsam fir as
well as deciduous species such as poplar and
white birch. Fire plays an important ecological
role in the Boreal Forest which is home to
animals such as moose, black bear, wolves, otter,
beaver and many species of song birds.
3) The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest
occupies approximately 20.1 million hectares
(containing 20% of Ontario’s forest) and is
situated between the Boreal and Deciduous
Forests. This forest region contains a large
variety of species. Coniferous tree species such
as white and red pine, hemlock as well as white
cedar are commonly mixed with deciduous
species including maple, basswood, beech,
yellow birch, oak and black cherry. Some of the
wildlife species found in the Great Lake-St.
Lawrence Forest include the white-tailed deer,
moose, black bear, wolves, beaver, otter,
pileated woodpecker, red-shouldered hawk and a
wide variety of migratory birds.
3
4) The Deciduous Forest lies in south-western
Ontario along the shores of Lake Ontario, Erie
and south-east shore of Lake Huron. This forest
region covers 3.1 million hectares (containing
1% of Ontario’s forest) and is very diverse.
Forest cover in this region is very fragmented
and only occupies 15% of the land area. Tree
species include oak (red, black, white, burr),
walnut, hickory, maple (sugar, red, black, silver),
ash (white, green), sycamore, tulip tree and
sassafras. There are coniferous species such as
white and red pine in this forest region but to a
much lesser extent. Many of the tree species
found in this area are at the northern limits of
their natural range. A number of national rare
ecosystems, mammals, birds and insects are
found in this forest region.
The majority of Hastings County is situated in
Great Lake-St. Lawrence Forest Region
however, the southern portion lies in the
Deciduous Forest Region. Overall the County
has a relatively high percentage of forest cover
compared to other jurisdictions in southern
Ontario. Forests occupy approximately 65% of
the land area in Hastings County with maple and
poplar-birch being the dominant cover types.
The forests of the County range in age from
young newly established forests to large mature
stands. However the majority of the forest is 61100 years old which is typical for the forests in
this part of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Forest
Region given the disturbance and harvesting
history of the area.

Ownership and land-use patterns vary greatly
within the County. Lands in the southern
portion are predominately privately owned
(93%), support an active agricultural-based
economy and the forest cover is fragmented in
this part of the County. The lands in the central
and northern sections are both privately (67%)
and publicly (33%) owned supporting a forestbased economy. Forest cover is generally
continuous in this section of the County with
fewer and smaller open areas compared to the
south. It is important to note the significant role
private landowners play in the management of
the forest resources in Hastings County.
Landowners can reduce forest fragmentation, enhance
travel corridors for wildlife and contribute to forest cover
by initiating tree planting activities on suitable lands that
are no longer used for agricultural purposes.
Hastings County’s rich diversity from the north
to south make it a unique place to be and many
different species of wildlife call the County
home. Over the years provincial resource
managers, private landowners and interested
members of the public have joined forces to
create, maintain and enhance habitats for a range
of species as well as taking bold initiatives to
assist wildlife to flourish in Hastings County.
The reintroduction of elk in north Hastings and
wild turkey in the south as well as the efforts
being made by the Loggerhead Shrike recovery
team in the south Hastings are such examples.
The Millbridge area is home to a traditional
wintering area for white-tailed deer that travel
great distances to spend the winter in the
4
protective cover of the cedar forests. For decades
resource managers have been incorporating
wildlife habitat and ecological principles into
forest management planning and operational
activities. It is important that all landowners
manage their forested properties responsibly
thereby contributing to the overall diversity and
health of the forested landscape.
Forest Industry in Hastings County
The forest sector plays an important social and
economic role in the Ontario as well as in
Hastings County. Provincially it is estimated that
the forest industry employs over 68,000 people
and that the value of the wood product shipments
in Ontario was $19.0 billion in 2002 (OMNR,
2006).

There are several wood and paper manufacturing
facilities located within Hastings County and
many others in close proximity. These facilities
depend on the raw materials generated from the
forests as well as the skilled labour force that
exists within the County. The labour force in
Hastings County directly related to the
manufacturing of wood and paper products in
addition to the support activities related to
forestry is estimated to be 1,945. This represents
approximately 3.2% of the total labour force of
Hastings County (Statistic Canada, 2001). The
figure above displays the breakdown of
employment by forest sector in Hastings.
According to the Ontario Forest Industry Mill
Statistics (OMNR 2006), the annual average
amount of wood received by licensed wood
processing facilities located in Hastings County
is estimated to be 405,000 m3/year. This wood
comes from a large geographic area well beyond
the boundaries of Hastings County. Local forest
industry representatives with manufacturing
facilities in the County suggest that the annual
stumpage paid to public and private landowners
for the roundwood to supply their mills is
approximately $4-6 million/year. The licensed
mills in Hastings County together produce
approximately 58,000 m3/year of lumber and
150,000 m3/year of paper products with a
combined estimated finished value of $85-95
million/year.
Gilmour and Company operated a large sawmill at the
mouth of the Trent River from 1852-1905 employing
approximately 600 workers and processing 3,000 logs per
day. At the time it was claimed to have been the largest mill
west of Ottawa (Long, 1998).
Sustainable Forest Management
Forests are an important natural renewable
resource. They clean our air, prevent erosion and
protect water quality, provide habitat for wildlife
as well as produce a variety of forest products
for personal and commercial use. The primary
goal of forest management is to ensure that
forests remain healthy, productive and
biologically diverse. Although this is a
challenging endeavour it can be achieved
through careful planning, adopting responsible
forest practices that emulate natural disturbances
while recognizing the social, economic and
environmental values that are intrinsically linked
to the forest.
Forest management practices are sustainable
when they maintain and enhance the long-term
health of forest ecosystems while providing
opportunities for the benefit of present and
future generations. Sustainable forestry refers to
management regimes applied to forested lands
that maintain the productive and renewal
capacities as well as the biodiversity (genetic,
5
species, ecological) of forest ecosystems.
(EOMF, 1996).
Silviculture, or caring for the forest, is a process
in which the forest is managed through the
phases of harvesting, regeneration and tending.
Sustainable forest management objectives are
obtained through the application of silvicultural
systems. These systems involve an assortment
of treatments used to maintain and enhance the
establishment, development and composition of
the forest. Choosing the best system is
dependant upon forest and site conditions,
species composition and age as well as forest
landowner’s objectives. There are three primary
silvicultural systems used in Ontario: the
selection system, the shelterwood system, and
the clearcut system.
Selection System
The selection system is best suited for shade
tolerant species (maple, beech) and in areas
where a high
degree of
forest cover
is beneficial
to other forest
values and
uses. The
selection
system is the
most widely
used system
in the Great
Lake-St.
Lawrence
and
Deciduous
Forest Regions and produces a forest that has a
wide range of age and size classes present in the
forest. These uneven-aged forests will have
young seedlings-saplings to large mature trees
present in the woodlot.
Trees are commonly removed either as single
individuals or in small groups, at relatively short
time intervals (15-25 years) depending on site
and forest conditions. The choice between
single tree selection or group selection is
contingent upon the objectives of the stand and
the species present or desired in the forest. The
periodic harvests create a forest containing trees
of all sizes and ages. Stand stocking is normally
maintained within an acceptable range (18 to 26
m2/hectare) to ensure optimum stand-tree
growth and no more than one-third of the
growing stock should be removed at one time.
Trees of all ages are harvested including those
that are defective, over mature and as well as
trees that are directly competing with trees of
greater potential value. Some poor quality trees
should be retained in the stand to provide
specific biological and ecological functions
(snags, cavity – den trees etc). This improves
the biodiversity and the overall health of the
forest.
In maple, beech and hemlock forest mixtures,
most species present in these forest types will
grow and reproduce in the shade of other trees.
Regeneration develops naturally following a
selection harvest and favours shade tolerant
species. The small group openings or gaps in the
forest canopy will favour the establishment and
growth of mid-tolerant species such as
basswood, yellow birch, black cherry, white ash
and red oak. The width of the canopy gaps
should be at least the height of the existing forest
or slightly greater and strategically located.
Shelterwood System
The shelterwood management system is used to
regenerate tree species that are moderately
tolerant to shade. The amount of light available
to the regenerating trees is managed by a series
of timely harvests at 10-20 year intervals that
gradually
remove the
overstory.
The first
harvest
leaves a
partial
cover of the
best trees to
provide
seed and
the necessary shade to obtain and develop
regeneration. Once seedlings are established the
overstory is further reduced and/or removed
completely to allow the new forest to grow
unimpeded.
6
By having the new forest in place before the
canopy cover is removed, the forests under this
management system maintain their aesthetic
appeal and cover for wildlife. This is a useful
system for regenerating species such as white
pine, hemlock, red oak and yellow birch. This
system can also be utilized in the management of
some tolerant hardwood forests where quality
and health issues are present. This management
system creates a forest that is relatively evenaged as most of the regeneration is established
within a short period of time.
Both the selection and shelterwood forest
management systems enable natural regeneration
to renew the forest although planting may be
used to supplement natural regeneration.
Clearcut System
The clearcutting system is normally used when
managing for light-demanding species such as
poplar, white birch and red pine. This
management system allows for the removal of
all merchantable trees from a mature forest at
one time and is usually done in patches or strips.
Regeneration comes naturally from seed present
on the forest floor or sprouts from the cut stumps
and/or roots or may be supplemented by planting
tree seedlings. The size of the cut patches or
strips, their frequency, distribution and their
patterns are controlled to meet a range of
resource management objectives such as species
composition, wildlife habitat, aesthetics and site
protection.
Specific trees (species, size, quality, quantity,
location) can be strategically retained within the
harvested areas to provide additional
regeneration options as well to provide for both
species and structural diversity of the future
stand. These residual trees also serve valuable
wildlife functions such as providing food, cover
and cavities.
Silviculture plays a major role in sustainable forest
management. Consultation with an experienced forestry
service provider should be undertaken before choosing and
implementing any harvesting activities. More information
on silviculture refer to the various guide books;
Silvicultural Guide to Managing Southern Ontario Forests,
Silvicultural Guide for the Tolerant Hardwood Forest in
Ontario, Silvicultural Guide for the Great Lake-St.
Lawrence Conifer Forest in Ontario. These can be viewed
online at www.mnr.gov.on.ca and clicking on “Ontario’s
Forests”, look under the “Forest Publications” heading.
Forest Renewal
Regenerating the forest is a critical step to
ensuring the forests are sustainable. Some forest
types through the proper application of
silvicultural techniques will regenerate naturally
on their own. There are circumstances when
additional treatments are required to assist in the
regeneration process. Site preparation may be
required to reduce impediments such as grasses,
leaf litter-duff, and woody debris to create
suitable conditions for tree establishment and
increase the success of forest regeneration
efforts.
When planting trees it is important to select the
species that is well suited to the prevailing site
conditions whether it is in a natural forest
setting, planting an abandoned farm field or
establishing a windbreak. Consideration must be
given to soil texture, depth and drainage as well
as the type and expected degree of competition
from unwanted vegetation as well as the
objectives for planting (forest products, wildlife,
recreation, erosion control, windbreak). For
example, red pine does well on dry sandy sites
whereas cedar does well on poorly drained sands
and loams. A wide range of tree species grows
well in loamy soils that are moderately well
drained. On these better sites the level of
competition for other vegetation is greater
therefore it may be appropriate to plant larger
trees to give them an early growth advantage.
7
There are increasing tree planting opportunities
in Hastings County
now with the
emergence of the
Trees Ontario
Foundation (TOF).
Local tree planting
agencies such as
the Hastings
Stewardship
Council and Quinte
Conservation
planted about
45,000 trees in
2007 with financial
assistance from TOF. In addition Quinte
Conservation operates a tree seedling sale
program providing up to 60,000 trees to
landowners each spring. Tree planting agencies
can assist landowners with making informed
decisions on how and where to plant trees in
appropriate areas.
It is important to have a planting plan prepared that will
identify the necessary steps to ensure a successful planting
project (site preparation, species selection-stock types,
spacing, vegetation control). There are local agencies and
forest consultants that can provide you with guidance. Tree
planting assistance programs may be available in your area
making tree seedlings easily obtainable. Contact your local
Stewardship Council, Conservation Authority or Trees
Ontario Foundation. Contact information is listed at the
back of this document.
Tending
Trees need water, nutrients, sunlight and space
to grow. As a new forest grows the trees begin to
compete with one another as well as with other
vegetation. To ensure young forests remain
healthy, retain sufficient stocking levels and
continue to grow they need to be tended.
Tending includes general forest maintenance
activities such as cleaning, spacing-thinning and
other improvement work to control competition
and improve tree quality.
Cleaning activities are conducted in the early
stages of a young or newly established forest and
are intended to remove unwanted vegetation
(grass, brush, undesirable tree species) that are
directly competing with desirable tree species for
water, nutrients, sunlight and space. Cleaning
improves survival rates and protects forest
investments. Cleaning can be done using a
combination of manual (brush axes), motormanual (brushsaw, chainsaw) and herbicides.
Treatment type and intensity will depend on the
objectives and target vegetation. Newly
established forests may need to be tended a
number of times in the early stages to ensure
they reach a free to grow phase.
As the forest continues to grow and the trees
increase in size the level of tree to tree
competition increases resulting in a reduction in
individual tree growth that may result in tree
mortality. It is important to thin developing
forests to improve the spacing of the better
quality trees. Removing poor quality, less
desirable species and those stems that are prone
to insects and disease will ensure that the forest
remains healthy and continues to grow
vigorously. The frequency of thinning activities
will depend on many factors such as site, soil
conditions, growing season, tree densities and
tree species. Certain tree species respond better
to release treatments and grow faster than others.
As a general rule of thumb faster growing
species should be thinned every 10-15 years (i.e.
pine plantations) while slower growing species
should be thinned every 20-25 years (tolerant
hardwoods such as maple, beech, oak). In most
instances removing no more that approximately
one-third of the growing stock at any time is
usually a recommended target. Monitoring treeforest growth is important and will assist forest
owners in determining when to thin their forests.
Prescriptions and Tree Marking
A prescription is a site-specific set of detailed
instructions on how to obtain short and longterm management objectives and should be
prepared in advance of any management
operations taking place. The instructions are
developed with the principles of sound forest
management in mind and are based on an
assessment or inventory of the resources. It
integrates silvicultural, fish and wildlife habitat
and ecological management concepts to ensure
the forest remains healthy for those who depend
on it (society, animals, plants).
8
Tree marking is a critical step in the
implementation of forest prescriptions that
include the harvesting
or thinning of trees.
Trained forest
practitioners will
identify and mark the
trees to be removed
from the forest in order
to meet short and longterm goals as outlined
by the forest
prescription. Decisions
made by the tree marker
have an affect at the
stand and forest level
and impacts on the
biodiversity, habitat as
well as the long-term health, vigour and growth
of the forest. The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources (OMNR) has been training and
certifying tree markers under the Provincial Tree
Marker Training Program for many years.
Certified Ontario Tree Markers abide to a Code
of Ethics and must be re-certified every 3 years.
A certified tree marker is a key component in the
delivery of sustainable forest management.
The cost of tree marking is a small fraction of
the revenue that is generated through
commercial harvest-thinning operations. The
benefits that landowners gain from tree marking
in terms of improved tree spacing, growth and
stand quality are translated into increased yields,
larger volumes of high quality products and
greater revenue potential in the future. Tree
marking is a worthwhile investment and protects
the natural capital of your woodlot.
The Ontario Professional Foresters Association (OPFA) is
responsible for regulating professional forestry in Ontario.
Landowners who are interested in pursuing forest
management activities on their properties, such as forest
inventories or tree harvesting, should consult with a
Registered Professional Forester or an Associate Member
of the OPFA as only such members are licensed to practice
professional forestry. For more information contact the
OPFA at 705-436-2226 or visit the listing of Consultants on
the OPFA website at www.opfa.on.ca.
Forest Certification
There has been growing interest in forest
certification over the past decade on the part of
the forest industry, landowners and consumers of
wood products. Forest certification uses third
party auditors to ensure that forest managers,
practitioners, operators and landowners comply
with well-established sustainable forest
management principles. Forest certification
provides objective evidence and assurance to all
stakeholders (landowners, general public,
consumers) that forestry practices meet high
environmental standards while providing longterm social and economic benefits.
Forest certification provides a framework to
implement sustainable forest management and
elevates the performance levels by making all
those involved more accountable for their
actions. Certification tracks forest products
found in retail stores back to the forest of origin
through a Chain of Custody process. This green
labelling approach assures consumers that the
wood and paper products they are purchasing
were derived from well-managed forests.
Certification options are available to woodlot
owners. Landowners may choose to have their
own individual woodlands certified and hold
their own certificate. This type of land specific
certification is normally pursued by owners of
larger forested properties. The revenue
generated from ongoing management activities
assist in offsetting the costs of certification.
Another option available to landowners is to
become part of a “certified property pool”
managed under the guidance and direction of a
forest manager who holds a Resource Manager
Certificate. In this situation the management
systems, delivery mechanisms and management
practices of the forest manager who holds the
certificate have been thoroughly assessed and
evaluated by auditors.
Forest managers who have received a Resource
Manager Certification have demonstrated their
abilities and commitment to meet the stringent
environmental standards. To be part of a
certified property pool is a cost effective way in
which environmentally minded landowners can
9
access certification and the benefits it can
provide.
Currently in Hastings County there is
approximately 30,456 hectares of private,
municipal and industrial forested lands certified
(Norampac, 2007). In April 2004 the OMNR
announced that Crown lands managed under
Sustainable Forest Licenses’ are to be certified
by the end of 2007.
For more information on forest certification contact your
local Stewardship Council or visit the following websites:
www.fsccanada.org , www.certificationcanada.org
Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program
Woodlot owners contribute to the overall health
and diversity of the landscape. In being
responsible land stewards they play a role in
maintaining the health of the forests, plants and
animals as well as the quality of the air and
water. An important program that is available to
forest landowners is the Managed Forest Tax
Incentive Program (MFTIP). This is a resource
management tool that will assist landowners in
continuing their stewardship legacy while
reducing their property taxes.
The MFTIP is
a program
that is
available to
landowners
who own at
least 4
hectares of
forested
property and
is designed to
“increase
landowner
awareness
about forest
stewardship”, encourage responsible
management and benefit landowners through
lower property taxes. In lessening the tax burden
on forested lands, landowners can afford to
direct their efforts and resources on maintaining
healthy forests. Landowners must prepare a long
term Forest Management Plan that describes the
forest property, details the management activities
that are scheduled to occur over a ten-year
period and have the plan approved by a Managed
Forest Plan Approver (MFPA) who is designated
by the OMNR. The framework for developing a
management plan is outlined in the booklet A
Guide to Stewardship Planning for Natural
Areas and details of the program are found in the
Ontario Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program
(MFTIP) Guide-2006.
Hastings County has an active level of
participation in the MFTIP. During the 2007 tax
year there were 930 properties actively engaged
in the program covering approximately 156,059
acres of land.

Both the Ontario Forestry Association and the Ontario
Woodlot Association assist the OMNR in delivering the

Woodlot Management Planning
A Landowner’s Guide to Selling Standing
Timber provides a comprehensive explanation of
the overall process and is available from the
Ontario Woodlot Association. This in
combination with the Guide to Stewardship
Planning for Natural Areas and Extension Notes
10
will provide
landowners
with a basic
understanding
of woodlot
management
planning.
Landowners
are
encouraged to
seek guidance
and assistance
from
experienced
resource
management professionals when developing and
implementing forest management plans.
Extension Notes are a series of information fact sheets on a
variety of resource management topics including forests,
agroforestry, financial aspects, insects and pests, water and
wetlands, and wildlife. These are available from the
LandOwner Resource Centre at 1-888-571-4636 or visit
their website www.lrconline.com
Listed below is a brief overview for woodlot
management planning strategy.
Pre-planning: Know what you want to do, have
a game plan, become informed and acquire as
much information and background material as
possible.
Assessment: Evaluate your woodlands to
determine the state of your forest, an inventory
will determine the species, ages, size of trees,
other resource values and features (habitat)
present in the woodlot and their condition. A
detailed inventory will assist in all aspects of
planning and implementing management
activities.
Prepare a Management Plan:
Description: A good inventory will help you
describe the woodlot, the resources to be
managed and where they occur.
Maps: It is important to identify features of
the woodlot (boundaries, trails, habitats,
water, forest types) as well as where
management activities have taken place and
where they are proposed.
History: The history of the woodlot and
surrounding area plays an important role in
gaining an understanding of how the
woodlot has developed over time. Past
management activities will impact on
immediate and long-term management
options.
Objectives: Establish a set of objectives that
are meaningful, obtainable, measurable and
consistent with sustainable forestry
principles. Determine what do you want to
accomplish and over what time frame.
Strategies: Outline strategies or actions that
must be taken that will enable you to achieve
your objectives.
Active Forest Management: Determine what
activities that will be undertaken, where they
will occur and when they will take place.
The level of management activities should
reflect the capacity of the woodlot to support
the type of management proposed.
Implementation: Follow the plan as close as
possible recognizing that an adaptive approach
may be necessary in certain situations.
Management prescriptions should be developed
and followed for forest renewal, tending and
harvesting activities. Secure the right people for
the tasks to be completed.
Monitoring - Reporting: Monitor all activities
and keep track of your accomplishments. This
will help determine the effectiveness of the
treatments or actions taken, whether a different
approach is required and if a follow-up or
subsequent treatment is necessary.
Renew Plan: Plans have a set term and are
building blocks for long-term management.
Keeping your plan updated allows you to
continue moving forward while giving you a
forum to reflect on your accomplishments, longterm goals and strategies. It also provides you
with an opportunity to refine your management
approaches if required and adapt to changes.
Forest landowners will continue to play an
important role in contributing to a healthy
forested environment. Landowners will benefit
directly from managing their woodlands
responsibly and will enjoy the pleasures that
11
their properties offer them for many years.
Forests are complex ecosystems that can be
challenging to manage. It is prudent for
landowners to seek assistance to help guide them
in reaching their resource management goals. A
good starting point for landowners is to contact
their local Stewardship Corodinator who will be
able to point them in the right direction.
A listing of Stewardship Councils can be found on the
website www.ontariostewardship.org.
by Sawyer Stoll in 1965 removing the veneer
quality trees. In 1973 a follow up harvest was
completed which removed the mature sawlogs
(revenue figures not available). Fencing was
placed around the woodlot in 1980 under the
OMNR’s Woodlands Improvement Agreement
program to prevent cattle from entering the
woodlot. Since 1995 the owner has been
harvesting a small amount of firewood each year
for personal use in which only unacceptable,
poor quality trees have been removed. There has
not been a commercial harvest since 1973.
Demonstration Forests
The Hastings Stewardship Council in cooperation with its partners is pursuing the
establishment of a Demonstration Forest
network throughout the County that highlights
responsible forest management. It is hoped that
over time the network will grow to cover
common forest types at various stages of
development detailing management approaches
to sustainable forest management. If you know
of a site that depicts sustainable forestry and
would like to nominate it as a possible
demonstration forest, please contact the Hastings
Stewardship Council.
The location of the current Demonstration
Forests are shown on the map presented on the
cover page. The details and descriptions of the
existing demonstration sites are presented below.
Tolerant Hardwood Demonstration Forest
Description
This woodlot is a typical developing tolerant
hardwood forest showing the potential of
producing quality forest products over time.
Stand has a good diameter distribution for this
stand type at this stage of development and has
good ratio between acceptable and unacceptable
growing stock. Stand has the potential and the
characteristics to be managed under an all-aged
management
system.
The forest is
dominated by
sugar maple
with minor
occurrences of
other tolerant
and midtolerant
hardwood species both in the overstory and in
the understory. Stand is currently well stocked in
all size classes with the exception of the large
size class which is expected to improve over
time. There is a moderate stocking of maple
seedlings and saplings scattered throughout the
woodlot therefore recruitment into the stand is
promising. The total growing stock is estimated
to be approximately 150 to 185 m3/ha for this
stand (approx. 8,000 fbm/acre of sawlogs and 10
cords/acre of pulpwood-firewood).

Management Approach
This forest will be managed under the selection
system to produce high quality forest products
and an uneven-aged forest structure. The forest
has a good size class distribution, is comprised
of good quality stems and has the potential of
approximating the ideal stand structure in the
future. However, the stand is lacking stems in
the larger size class and efforts to improve their
representation should be made under future
management. The stand should be allowed to
develop further to increase the growing stock
from the current 22 m2/ha to approximately 26
m2/ha before initiating a selection harvest. The
stand is expected to reach this stocking level in
approximately 5-10 years. Future thinning
activities should reduce the stocking levels by
approximately one-third, maintain and improve
stand quality and structure by removing
unacceptable growing stock and other high risk
trees from across all size classes. Thinning
History
The property is owned by Quinte Conservation
Authority and was managed by the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources (formerly the
Department of Lands & Forests) under the
provincial Agreement Forest Program until
1996. Management responsibilities were
transferred back to Quinte Conservation
Authority at that time. This is a maturing red
plantation that was established in 1947 which
was the year that Quinte Conservation (formerly
Moira River Conservation Authority) was
created.
The stand was row thinned in the early 1980’s
where every third row was removed. A second
thinning was conducted in 1996 in which poor
quality stems were selectively removed reducing
the stocking by approximately 1/3. This thinning
yielded approximately 19,230 fbm of small
sawlogs and generated $4650 in revenue. A third
thinning is expected to occur in the near future
and is expected to generate greater yields and
revenue.
Description
This is a typical red pine plantation that is being
actively managed, producing quality forest
products and developing well. The diameter
class distribution is consistent with an even-aged
forest at this stage of development (i.e. bellshaped curve). The overstory is dominated by
red pine and there are a few white pine stems in
the north-west corner that have been naturally
13
self-seeding. There is currently a light to
moderate stocking of white pine seedlings
present on
the forest
floor that
established
themselves
shortly after
the 1996
thinning
operation.
Balsam fir
and red maple regeneration is also present in the
stand and may impact future management. The
total growing stock is estimated to be
approximately 290 to 320 m3/ha for this 1
hectare stand (approximately 23,000 to 25,000
fbm/ac of sawlogs)

sunlight to reach the forest floor while providing
some overhead shade. Thinning activities should
focus on removing trees with poor crown
development and other high risk stems, leaving
healthy trees to continuing growing, to provide
cover and serve as a seed source for the stand.
Retain as many white pine in the overstory as
possible. The levels of balsam fir regeneration
and other vegetation may be controlled to allow
the white pine regeneration to grow freely.
Supplementary planting of white pine seedlings
may be considered in the future if stocking levels
or the quality of natural regeneration decreases.

Management Approach
The stand is naturally converting to a white pine
forest as evident by its presence in the
understory. The red pine overstory will gradually
be removed through a series of sequential
thinnings producing a range of quality forest
products (poles, sawlogs, boltwood) . The
continuation of this even-aged management
approach will promote the growth of the natural
white pine regeneration. Each thinning will
reduce crown closure sufficiently to allow more
