"Some of the trees that we're harvesting today were planted 50 years ago, so we recognize the value of planting trees as an economic model for our forestry sect...or, as well as what it does for our tourism sector and the health of our community" - Peter Emon, Country of Renfrew Councillor. Plant trees to fight climate change and have future generations enjoy them just like we have been.
