Brant Chapter: Foulds and McLean Tracts Tour

Foulds and McLean Tracts Tour

On Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 9:30 a.m., join us for a tour of the Foulds and McLean Tracts near Glen Morris.

Tour leader will be County of Brant Forester, Trent Myers. The Foulds Tract is a GRCA property with mature species including white and red oak, sugar maple, pignut hickory, and basswood. This woodlot is also home to sassafras and has remainders of American chestnut (pictured below). The McLean Tract is a County of Brant property with upland and lowland forest. Portions were reforested with Norway spruce and red pine. The spruce and red pine need to be harvested and Trent will explain how the forest will be marked to maximize regeneration.

This will be an informative tour for woodlot owners wanting to improve their plots. More details will follow in the Brant Woodlot newsletter in early May.
