As a result of the latest Federal budget, the federal government has decided to discontinue providing tree seedlings to rural landowners in western Canada, and will end its involvement in the Prairie Shelterbelt Program. They plan to end the program completely by December 31, 2013. This means that between 4 to 6 million trees per year will not be planted in western Canada! This also means that the 110 year old Program will be shut down for ever!!!!! Let your voice be heard.
