Design your shelterbelt Agri-News

Tree and shelterbelt planting is a long-term investment that requires careful planning and design.

“You have to ask yourself what you want to accomplish by planting trees or shelterbelts on your property,” said Toso Bozic, woodlot extension specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “You should involve all family members in this process to bring in their ideas, thoughts, and values.”

Bozic said trees should always be managed with future generations, as well as immediate needs, in mind.

“The goals can be many, ranging from wind protection, reducing energy costs, increasing property values, providing visual barriers and privacy, increasing biodiversity of wildlife species, retaining water, and many other goals. All of these can be achieved if you plan and design properly.”

The first step, said Bozic, is to visit existing shelterbelts and tree planting in the local area.

“Visit already-established shelterbelts and windbreaks, and talk to landowners about what did or did not work on their property. That’ll give you valuable information about potential soil and water

These rainy, golden days

By Lisa Kaastra Summer days at the Slough have been a mixed bag of weather, so we split our days between hunting strawberries out in the garden sunshine and taking cover inside during rainstorms.

“Do you hear the sky’s tummy growling?” I ask my two-year-old, standing enraptured on the front porch, wrapped in her blankie and staring up at the dark clouds.

She nods enthusiastically in response and points out in the direction of the road. “It’s raining…It’s raining! Let’s go play…outside!”

In all honesty, I’m not quite as excited for a dance out in the pouring rain, the wind now reaching our sheltered porch and funneling to the front door. But she’s like a duck out of water, determined to be outside in even the colder storms to play in the park, walk to grandma’s house, jump on the trampoline, and visit the market.

With the forecast telling non-stop days of rain, I finally give in to the latter and push the stroller with a sleeping baby sister, while my eldest daughter stomps her way through the water just off of Main Street. She holds a bright yellow umbrella precariously over her head to match her bright yellow raincoat, carefully choosing the most ‘puddliest’ path.

She points out the pots of honey and picks the fruit from BC stand; she asks about the perogies and bison meat, and waves to her auntie selling photographs. The rain doesn’t bother her in the least and she is in all her raincoat glory.

While I’m grateful that our little shared hobby farm doesn’t require sunshine for our livelihood, I will admit that there have been times I’d rather trade in my rubbers for shorts and a suntan…not to mention a few dry days to make the levelling and seeding of our front yard possible.

But with all the green growth that follows the rain, I really haven’t anything to complain about. Even if I’m not as puddle-happy as a toddler.

So with a few more jumps, we finally come home (with protest), and drag our boots through the mud just below the front step; we carry in our market goodies and put the baby down for another nap. And then, just as the sun is starting to come back out for the last shine of the day, my daughter and I plop down on the porch with two bowls and a bag of peas—I shell, and she eats.

I take a deep breath and smell the fresh, new scent that comes only after a good outdoor soaking.

“Breathe in, my girl. Can you smell that?”

She responds with an exaggerated whiff and follows with a sigh. “Uh-hmmm…I Love it!” I can’t help but laugh, and steal one of the few remaining peas from the bottom of the bowl. “Me too, girlie…me too.”

Even with the rain, these days are pretty golden after all.

problems, maintenance requirements, cost, potential issues, tree growth, reasons to choose different species, and various spacing and weed control issues.”

For proper design and planning, the most important tools are a pencil and eraser.

“I can’t stress enough that you can change anything on paper, but once you put trees in the ground, changes are costly,” said Bozic. “You are in a unique position to create something that can be in harmony with nature, but at the same time very different.”

Proper planning and design include several steps: find an area to plant that combines effective protection from wind and snow with the functional design possibilities to increase aesthetic value; use an aerial photograph from your local county office or Google Earth to draw a map for the design; once the mapping is complete, collect as much information as possible on soil type, drainage, slope, prevailing winds, sunlight exposure, property lines, power and other utility lines, buildings, roads, etc.

When the site assessment is complete, choose the tree and shrub species.

“The key thing is diversity,” says Bozic. “Many people just choose very few species such as spruce, hybrid poplar and lilac. There is nothing wrong with any of these species, but there is a higher long-term risk for your trees if you only plant a few species. Plant a variety of trees and shrubs on your property. Each species provides unique beauty and benefits, as well as challenges. Diversity is key for the long-term viability of your shelterbelts.”

In natural forests, there is no “recommended” spacing as trees, through competition based on site abilities, provide their own best spacing.

While you have to watch for the functionality and effectiveness of your shelterbelt, whether you plant every 8’, 10’ or 12’ between trees is really up to you. Also, you do not need to plant in straight rows. Be creative.

Once design, site assessment, trees and shrub choice and spacing requirements are complete, it’s time for the hard work of site preparation and tree planting, followed by ongoing maintenance.

“Planning and design are probably the most crucial steps in the long journey of establishing trees and shrubs on your property,” added Bozic. “It takes detail and thought, but is also fun where the creativity and wisdom of your family creates something unique and joyful.”

Cool spring yields slow growth

DMO I THF I GREASE

TOTAL

By Murray Green

The Camrose region experienced a cool, yet dry spring followed by a wet start to summer.

“A cool, dry spring this year did not allow pastures and hay lands in many parts of the province to grow as rapidly as they usually do,” said Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “Along with the weather, previous years’ stressors have resulted in pasture poor growth.”

Yaremcio indicated that in some situations, producers had no choice but to turn their cows out to graze three to four weeks earlier than normal because of short or exhausted stored feed supplies.

“Research has shown that for every day animals are turned out early in the spring, the grazing period in the fall is shortened by three days.”

In some parts of the province, grasses have headed out early and alfalfa has gone to bloom.

“The plants are trying to complete their life cycle much earlier than normal, and that affects the overall yield and quality of forage available to livestock on pasture. If those pasture plants are not lightly grazed or clipped to remove the heads, they will go dormant for the remainder of this growing season. It is not likely that they will produce additional forage.”

Yaremcio said that once grasses are pollinated and seed starts to form, protein content in the forage drops roughly one to 1.5 per cent, per week. “Total digestible nutrients (TDN) or energy content will drop by 1.5 to 2.5 per cent per week as well. Legumes will also experience a loss in quality once pod set occurs.”

He added that under dry conditions, the loss of quality occurs three to four weeks sooner. “Rotational grazing keeps plants in the vegetative state, prevents the deterioration of quality and entices the plants to continue growing. A minimum rest period of 30 days between grazing events is critical to allow the plants to recover.”

It is possible to extend the grazing period by supplementing with grain, milled or screening pellets, by product feeds, protein tubs or blocks.

“Availability, cost and nutritional content are all considerations when developing a program.”

He suggests trying to maintain a constant feeding program throughout

the summer. “If supplies are tight, using a combination of two or three different products is advisable. Abrupt changes from one type of supplement to another could cause digestive upsets and animals going off feed for some time.

“Feed grains such as barley, oats, tritica-

le, wheat or rye are possible options, but each grain has a different limit of how much to feed per head per day. Screenings from seed cleaning plants or pelleted screening pellets fall into the same category as the feed grains mentioned above. It may take four to six pounds of

supplemental grains, pellets or by products every two or three days to keep cows in good condition and maintain milk production.

Calves that eat some of the supplemental grain pellets or by products will improve their gains as well.”

By product feeds such as distillers’ grains or malt sprouts are high in protein, phosphorus and sulphur. “A 1:1 or 2:1 mineral will not be suitable to use in this situation,” he explained. “It is necessary to feed a 3:1 mineral or feedlot type mineral with three to four per cent magnesium to increase calcium and magnesium levels to prevent grass tetany or downer cows.”

Cutting a cereal crop for green chop silage is another option. The cut material is fed fresh to the grazing animals. It must be consumed the same day it is cut, otherwise the presence of aerobic bacteria will cause it to spoil.

Tubs and blocks are

products also available on the market, and there are two types—protein and energy.

With all the different products on the market, it is best to read the tag to evaluate each product’s nutrients and compare that to the animals’ requirements. “Ask for help if you are not sure how to make the comparisons. The amount of product the animals need to consume may make the cost unreasonable,” said Yaremcio.

Mineral products provide macro minerals, trace minerals and vitamins but do not supply any protein or energy. “They are essential for a balanced nutrition program, but they should be fed in conjunction with other feeds that supply energy or protein.

“The biggest question to consider when using any supplemental product is cost,” he added. “Take time to evaluate the costs and benefits before making any purchases.”

Submitted Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch new officer Kim Berscheid conducts boat patrol on Driedmeat Lake on June 30.

Camrose Fish and Wildlife gets addition to roster

By Lori Larsen

Camrose and District Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch (FWEB) welcomed a new officer to the roster on June 1. With the goal of being able to increase the service and better serve the needs of the district, Officer Kim Berscheid has joined forces with District Officer Lorne Rinkel.

Berscheid originally hails from The Pas, Manitoba area, where she grew up in a rural setting surrounded by some of the country’s most beautiful natural resources.

Childhood influence Berscheid’s childhood of growing up in Northern Manitoba, surrounded by natural resources, was in part what influenced her decision for a career in natural resource law enforcement. “I grew up on Clearwater Lake where it is not unheard of to catch a 40-inch lake trout,” she smiled. “My family was into hunting and fishing. I always knew I wanted a career in law enforcement and what can be better than to be able to combine what you love doing on your personal time with work.”

She noted that FWEB officers all have a vested interest in natural resources. “We want to protect them not only for ourselves, but for everyone else to enjoy in the future.

“We (FWEB Officers) strive to know more about natural resources.” A lot of which she admits is learned from on-the-job experience and being mentored by other officers. “I have had the opportunity to work with some fantastic officers. We (FWEB officers) do a lot of travelling around the province in our work and we meet and learn from a lot of different officers. It makes you a well-rounded officer.”

Post secondary Officer Berscheid began her post-secondary education at University College of the North (UCN) with the law enforcement program. She then continued into the Natural Resource Management program, and finally transferred to Lethbridge Community College where she completed her degree in Bachelor of Applied Science (Conservation Enforcement).

Field work While completing her education, Officer Berscheid first worked for Manitoba Conservation as a park patrol officer stationed in various provincial parks, including Bird Hill Provincial Park and Grand Beach Provincial Park. “Grand Beach is seven kilometers of beach,” noted Berscheid. “On a hot weekend, there could be up to 10,000 people there. It always made for interesting situations. I dealt with a lot of public safety issues, bears, fishing, pretty much anything you can think that would happen in a park setting.”

In 2013, her second year of being a supervisor and her graduation year from post-secondary, she was offered a full time position with Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch. She began her Alberta FWEB career in the Stony Plain area, working there for three years. This district introduced her to the won-

derful resources that Alberta has to offer and was a fast paced district with high use fisheries and bountiful hunting. After three years, Berscheid then transferred to the Edmonton district where she got to experience life in the big city. This district provided a very unique opportunity to be an “Urban Game Warden”, with very different challenges associated to working in a city setting. As of June 1, she became the second officer for the Camrose district.

Berscheid came to Camrose for a bit of a change in scenery and to experience other facets of the job. More importantly, she wants to be able to develop connections with the community, something that was more difficult in a very busy urban setting such as Edmonton. “It is important to be an officer whom residents feel comfortable calling when they have concerns.”

Because Camrose district has a solid reputation for thorough and in-depth investigations, Berscheid was also excited to be able to transfer in and develop her own investigative skills. “I take pride in letting complainants know outcomes of files once they have been completed.” She feels that is important in maintaining great relations with residents and ensuring cooperation and assistance.

Berscheid is an instructor for the FWEB boating instructor team teaching jet boat, small and large prop and personal watercraft courses, and she also possesses unique skills in immobilization of urban species that can pose a potential danger to people and themselves. “In Edmonton, I dealt mostly with moose, where we would have to tranquilize them and move them out of the area. As you can imagine, it is very dynamic. They would usually end up in school grounds or parks or peoples’ backyards.”

She remarked that relocation can potentially be extremely stressful for wildlife and, for that reason, Fish and Wildlife prefers not to relocate wildlife unless absolutely necessary. “It is out of necessity that we do, to get them out of a bad situation where they could end up hurting a person or themselves. At the end of the day, we want what is best for both residents and the animals.”

On a final note, Berscheid said educating the public will be an important part of her duties here and she looks forward to working with both County and City residents. She encourages residents to contact the FWEB office with any inquires or suspicions and to continue being an important part of protecting their own property and all natural resources.

9PM Routine assists in protecting property

By Lori Larsen

Alberta RCMP want to remind rural residents to follow the 9 PM Routine, an initiative implemented by police agencies around the world to help citizens protect their property.

Getting into a nightly routine of using a checklist, residents can ensure private property is properly secured.

A lb er t a R CM P advise residents that property crimes are crimes of opportunity and more often than not the simple gestures of putting things out of site and locked up and turning on lights can be enough to deter a wouldbe criminal.

RCMP report that from June to August of 2018 there were approximately 36,000 property related incidents in RCMP jurisdiction, much of which includes rural properties.

The following are some suggestions offered by the RCMP to include in a 9 PM Routine.

Light it up by turning on outside lights at night.

Lock it or risk losing it. Lock up your home, shed, ga rage, outbuildings, vehicles and other recreational vehicles including bicycles.

9PM ROUTINE Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose RCMP Constable Ian McCloy advises residents that one of the main “to dos” on any 9PM Routine list is to lock up all buildings on your property including, homes, sheds, garages, barns, shops and pump houses. A locked building will deter and very likely prevent theft from occurring.
