Perth County is bringing back the Stewardship Program after a successful first year.
The program supports tree-planting projects and forest management plans across the region.
Starting November 1, 2024 eligible applicants including private landowners and community groups can apply for funding online through the County’s website.
The Stewardship Program includes three streams: a Landowner Stream, Community Stream, and Woodlot Stream. Each stream is geared towards different tree planting projects such as forest rehabilitation, windbreaks, stream buffers, and forest health check-ups.
There is $100,000 in funding available for the 2025 intake year.
Applications must be received by January 3, 2025. Successful applicants will be notified by mid-February 2025.
