NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FORESTRY/RECREATION SITE MAINTENANCE Planting: Spring and Summer planting was completed by our regular contractor, Blue Collar Silviculture. Planted over ½ million trees. Brushing Crew: Brushed approximately 40hectars. Brushing involves using either manual or power saws to cut back competing vegetation around the planted trees. Pruning
involves cutting select branches off trees to encourage height growth and minimize disease. Silviculture surveys are used to measure reforestation (tree planting) success and predict inventory conditions of our forests
