Description

A Forest and Conservation History Tour through Guelph and
area, Ontario.

The City of Guelph and more particularly the Ontario Agricultural College properties have
had a long history of innovative reforestation projects. We will see an example of these
early plantings. We will visit the Arkell Springs site where there is an early example of using
the forest to clean drinking water. We will also visit a site where brook trout have been able
to access the Speed River, as well as other sites of interest.

Registration is required. Cost is $40 for Forest History Ontario members, $60 for nonmembers
and $20 for students. Fees are payable by e-transfer or cheque to Forest
History Ontario. Lunch will be provided. Please indicate any dietary needs.
Please register by June 10th. Fees are non-refundable after this date but can be
substituted. Participants must be able to walk up to 15 minutes a few times, on
imperfect forest trails. We will travel by bus to the various sites, and seats are limited.

The meeting site will be in the City of Guelph, location TBD.
