Tribal elders enjoy an afternoon of games, prizes and food on the Fort Berthold Reservation
September 06, 2012
The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Georgian Bay Harvesters Committee was recently involved in two different conservation efforts. The first was the planting of 4,000 trees at the “Millennium Tract” in Simcoe County Forest near Barrie. They were responsible for the planning of one section of the plant including over 300 hardwoods, which, when mature, will provide a food source for wildlife in the area. The volunteer group thanks Steven Richmond for helping out. Steve also received credit towards his community service requirements for high school.
The Harvesters were assisted by Georgian Bay Bassmasters (a fishing club for men and women that provides fishing education and information, and is involved in youth and conservation activities in the community) and First Wye Marsh Scouts; both had excellent member support. The tree planting was supervised and supported financially by North Simcoe Anglers and Hunters Conservation Club who provided $6,500.00 for the cost of the trees. Hats off to them!read more
