Message from the President

Eastern Ontario Model Forest Moves Forward

As I once again sit and reflect on the year that has just passedwe must all realize the Eastern Ontario Model Forest (EOMF) isentering a new era without government funding.

The EOMF continued to be a cornerstone in forest certificationacross southern Ontario. In southern-western Ontario, greatstrides have been made to work with conservation authoritiesand municipalities, giving direction, assistance and putting themunder our Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certificationprogram. All this hard work has resulted in the certificationprogram being well positioned to move forward to be self-sufficient financially as we move forward.

In addition, this year’s successful chain of custody certificationprogram for forest businesses, we have contributed to beingable to bring wood products from sustainably managed foreststo customers using finished products.

The Regional Forest Health Network (RFHN) continues to buildcapacity to respond to forest threats. EOMF continues to chairand facilitate efforts of this network. Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)continues to be a priority. We worked closely with the InvasiveSpecies Centre this past year to produce two high quality videoson EAB. The videos provide both urban and rural messagingthat can be used by municipalities and other organizations onhow to deal with this insect. The RFHN was also involved in theprovincial EAB task force.

Moving forward the Regional Forest Health Network will bedealing with other threats to the both the rural and urbanforests. Members have agreed to financially support theNetwork.

Other progress has also been made in new streams of revenue,which will help move the Eastern Ontario Model Forest forwardin the near future, the woodlands restoration program beingbut one of these.

The EOMF Board of Director has had many discussions over theyear concerning our future. I am happy to say they are in strongsupport of continuing with the Annual Christmas Seminar in

partnership with the local Chapter of the Canadian ForestryInstitute and the Kemptville Winter Woodlot Conference withmany other partners.

The one constant over the years is the outstandingcontributions from our many partners. This year is noexception. Many of our successes this past year can be directlycontributed to the strong support we continue to receive frompartners. Our partners will become increasingly important aswe move forward, confronted with opportunities to contributenot only operationally, but also financially to ensure that ourshared enterprise continues to prosper.

I want to thank my fellow Board members for theircommitment, support and wisdom over the course of the pastyear giving direction on how to proceed without governmentfunding in the years to come. With this leadership we will becontinuing with selected programs and continue working withour partners.

In closing, I cannot sign off without saying thanks to ElizabethHolmes and Mary Humphries for their many years of dedicationto the Eastern Ontario Model Forest. They have made such animportant contribution over these many years. This annualreport is dedicated to these two women who have given somuch of their time to our organization.

The Year in Retrospect

This has been a year of significant transition and change for theEOMF. With the impending loss of funding from the ForestCommunities Program (Natural Resources Canada) the Boardfocused on re-positioning the EOMF. The goal was to ensureongoing stability into the future while providing a balancedprogram to our members and supporters.

While managing through this transition, the EOMF has alsodelivered successfully upon a number of project activities. Somehighlights of our accomplishments include:

Forest Certification

The EOMF Forest Certification Program continues to thrive. In2013 over 10,000 ha of new forests were added to the program.The program now encompasses over 63,000 hectares of privateland forest consisting of community forests, forest ownergroups, forest managers and maple syrup producers.

The program is guided by the Certification Working Group withrepresentation from private landowner groups, communityforest owners, First Nations, forest industry, and government.

We continued to expand forest management certification intosouthwestern Ontario, with addition of Long Point Conservationand private land owners, the latter through a project funded bythe Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation.

The interest and growth potential of the program is promisingand with the implementation of new funding/fee structure forthe Forest Certification Program last year, the program isstrongly positioned for self-sufficiency in the long-term.

In support of the forest industry and our certification programwe delivered a regional Chain of Custody (CoC) program forlocal saw mills.

Ontario East Wood Centre

The Ontario East Wood Centre (OEWC), for which the EOMF hasbeen a key catalyst and partner, is meant to be a platform forgetting new wood products off the ground in the face of thedecline in traditional markets for wood products.

The EOMF supported efforts in-kind through participation onthe OEWC board, and by lending other assistance such as theencouragement of partnerships with academia and others, andthe sharing of knowledge and forestry-related expertise.

Here a few of key activities & accomplishments:

The OEWC actively sought the support and commitment tothe bio-economy and sustainable forests and communitiesof Eastern Ontario via the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus,a major force in Eastern Ontario.

Queen’s University’s Chemical Engineering Departmenthosted the February 21, 2014 AGM. One of the outcomesof the AGM was a stronger alliance with Algonquin College’sPerth and Pembroke offices.

Progress has been made with respect to the aim of havingpilot plants and biomass related industrial and businessclusters established. (e.g., the GreenHouse at GreenFieldhas led to securing a proponent [Suntech GreenhousesLtd]).

One of the main objectives is to secure markets for woodfibre. In 2013 with financial support from FrontenacCommunity Futures EODP Funding Queen’s Universityexamined pellet production closer to the wood supply. Thestudy is now complete and with support from AlgonquinCollege, Frontenac County and Renfrew County CFDC’s,Heideman & Sons and others the next step leading toconstruction is being actively pursued.

The OEWC board continued to press on with efforts to advancethe vision and objects of the OEWC. Project leader Sandra Lawncontinued to lend her energy and enthusiasm to the effort,alongside a large number of dedicated experts, academics,business people, and forest specialists.

Regional Forest Health Network

The EOMF continued to chair and facilitate efforts of theRegional Forest Health Network (RFHN). Emerald ash borer(EAB) continued to be top of mind for the RFHN, with ongoingefforts to provide information-sharing support and expertise tomunicipalities, private landowners, homeowners, propertyowners and forest practitioners.

Page 7: Annual report 2013 2014

Eastern Ontario Model Forest – Forests for Seven Generations! Page 7

To assist the Francophone community the publication A guideentitled Preparing for Emerald Ash Borer: A Landowner’s Guideto Managing Ash Forests produced by members of the RFHN(October 2012) was translated and published in French. Anonline edition is available on the EOMF websitewww.eomf.on.ca.

With funding assistance from the Invasive Species Centre wewere able to produce two high quality professional videos onmanaging for EAB. One video focused rural forest owners whilethe second video focused on urban land owners. To assist ruralmunicipalities the EOMF developed an EAB managementstrategy template.

Education & Community Outreach

Kemptville Winter Woodlot Conference

The 27th edition of the Kemptville Winter Woodlot Conferencewas held in February 2013, on the Kemptville Campus of theUniversity of Guelph. This informal conference has become animportant educational and networking event for privatewoodlot owners, farmers with woodlots, community forestmanagers in eastern Ontario.

This year's theme was "Evolving Issues & Insights for WoodlotOwners" and featured presentations on – new medical findingson the health benefits of trees; invasive pests and diseases oflocal forests; airing of the EOMF new video entitled "EmeraldAsh Borer: Facts and Tactics for Woodlot Owners and ForestManagers”; non-timber forest product that can yield newincome and diversity opportunities for woodlot owners; hazardsand safe practices in the woodlot; vernal pools; and a visuallyengaging overview and description of the fascinating plants andanimals in our local woodlots by world-renowned naturalist andwildlife photographer, Michael Runtz.

Annual Christmas Forest Seminar

In partnership with the Ottawa Valley Section of the CanadianInstitute of Forestry, the EOMF hosted another annualChristmas Forest Seminar. The theme this year was the peri-urban forest.

The term peri-urban forest is a relatively new and Ken Farr wasable to describe and explain how the term evolved and how it isbecoming more widely used in the forest community, nationally

and internationally. Other speakers provide their uniqueperspective of the theme including Dr. Renate Sander-Regier ofthe University of Ottawa, who described how moderncivilizations have become estranged from forests and naturalsystems and the implications for social health and well-being.Dr. Andy Kenney then explained how these forests are managedfrom a sustainability viewpoint and some of the challengesencountered in balancing various demands. Finally HenryLickers of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne described'Adventures in the Peri-Urban Forest: A Story of AboriginalGathering' and showed how people interact with these forestsin spiritual and quite practical fashions.

The Science Committee is currently working on the December2014 seminar. The topic will focus on forest management inCanada; its history and evolution, with particular emphasis oneastern Ontario and some speculations on where forestmanagement may go in the future.

Akwesasne Partnership

As a founding partner to the EOMF, the Mohawk community ofAkwesasne has shaped the very essence of our governancestructure and the way in which we work with partners -embracing Naturalized Knowledge Systems principles and theGreat Way of Peace (respect, equity, and empowerment as keyingredients for effective and lasting partnerships). Nurturingthis partnership (indeed friendship) is something the EOMFholds dear - and it is central to the objective of continuing todevelop enduring partnerships that enable the organization toflourish in the long-term.

Staff of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s EnvironmentProgram was active in supporting various project activities (e.g.,efforts of the Regional Forest Health Network) and active in thegovernance of the EOMF through participation on the boardand Forest Science Committee.

Forest Science Committee

The EOMF provides a platform for collaborative communityefforts to promote and ensure sustainable forest communitiesand one of its permanent committees, the Forest ScienceCommittee (FSC) furthers these goals through various science-based activities and advises the board of directors on all

science-related matters and reviews projects from a scienceperspective.

A Changing Climate?

The FSC has completed and published an article on the changingclimate in Eastern Ontario titled ‘Is the Climate Changing inEastern Ontario?’ This article has now been published on theEOMF website to make our partners aware of some of theenvironmental changes which appear to be ongoing in easternOntario. This analysis of the weather data looks at temperatureand precipitation records over the past century and explainssome of the current trends in the climate. It does not makepredictions on future climates or assume that current trendswill continue. The trends are of interest to people generally andparticularly those involved in infrastructure planning,agriculture, forestry and tourism.

Analysis of Forest Resources

A major gap in the ability to engage in sustainable forestry,particularly on private lands is the lack of reliable resourceinventory information (FRI) for use by resource managers. Thisis reflected in a number of issues affecting the EOMF including;ecological land classification, surveying lands for non-timbervalues, criteria and indicators for sustainable forestry,geographical information systems for land management and anunderstanding of forest fragmentation and biodiversity. TheFSC has recognized the importance of a comprehensiveresource inventory to guide decisions associated with themanagement of multiple natural resources and has prepared asummary of needs after discussions with key individuals. Wehave also completed a review of existing information sources.Many needs were identified; Determinations of Species at Risk,requirements for the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program,Forest Certification and Community Forests. Existing datasources were identified including those developed by the EOMFas well as imagery and inventory products that providecoverage of the EOMF area. However, given the currentresource limitations it is unlikely that analysis of thisinformation can be done without outside technical and financialsupport.

Woodland Restoration Program

This year we initiated the new Woodland Restoration Programin partnership with Trees Ontario. The program facilitated

Page 10: Annual report 2013 2014

Eastern Ontario Model Forest – Forests for Seven Generations! Page 10

woodland planting efforts with solar companies mandated bythe province to replant acreages taken out of forest cover as aresult of solar installations.

In the spring of 2013 a total of 54,000 trees were planted ineastern Ontario. Through this initiative 28 hectares of newnatural corridors and linkages were created and 17 hectares ofinterior forest.

Additional plantings are slated for 2014 and 2015 and we areworking to expand the effort in the coming year in terms ofboth the number of solar companies involved and thegeography covered (i.e., beyond the traditional boundary of theEOMF).

Activities In Support of the CMFN & IMFN

The EOMF continued to serve as a champion and supporter ofthe Canadian Model Forest Network (CMFN) as well as theInternational Model Forest Network (IMFN). We participatedon the CMFN board as well as on the General Managers'Committee, actively supporting a number of collaborativeefforts and initiatives, including joint collaboration with theIMFN.

Highlights this year include:

Assisted in the development of a CMFN-spearheadedfunding proposals to advance work on social forestry inIndonesia;

Conducted forest sector interviews to feed into the CMFNdiscuss paper on forest sector jobs;

Provided input into the final stages of the CMFN'sResponsible Resource Development Program; and

Hosting visits by delegations from Natural ResourcesCanada show casing local forest management activities andthe EOMF Forest Certification Program.

As we move forward it is our hope to continue to support theCMFN and IMFN in these types of vital knowledge sharing andinformation transfer efforts in the year ahead.
