Annual Leaf Monitoring

Every year, a Huron Kinloss landowner partners with PRWIN to collect leaf samples to monitor the cycle and progression of growth of cash crops. This year’s crop was winter wheat and the sample collecting started in May. This picture was taken when the winter wheat was showing its growth of the shot blades. The samples of winter wheat are sent to A&L Laboratories in London ON to test and monitor nutrient intake and and soil health.

The pictures on the top row show the construction phase of the berms. Pictures on the bottom row exhibits the berms three months after the project was completed. 

This spring, PRWIN installed two water and sediment control basins, also know as berms, to control runoff on 80 acres of farmland in Huron Kinloss. The “berm” structure reduces water and sediment run-off into local watercourses and reduces erosion. The berm will allow any sediment to settle out and allow for infiltration through the soil. These berms were made possible by COA funding, supported by Environment Canada.

Landowners allow us to help them manage in ground projects by working together to secure funding and co-ordinate contractors to create berms and livestock crossings on their property. It is a great opportunity!

If you or another landowner could benefit from an in ground project, give us a call! 519-395-5538 pineriverwin@yahoo.ca

PRWIN 2020 PTARP PROGRAM

Our 2020 Potted Tree Ash Replacement Program, will be supported by the Community Well Being Program. This program is provided by The Township of Huron Kinloss and NWMO. 

Our Potted Tree Ash Replacement Program aims to reforest our local coastline from the damage that the Emerald Ash Borer has caused to ash trees. If you live along the Huron Kinloss shoreline, you may be eligible for a FREE native potted tree, if you have lost or are losing an ash tree due to the emerald ash borer. One potted native tree is offered per property. We will offer the program in the Fall of 2020.

To become a recipient of the program, please email or call the office to take part in our program by August 28th.

Many thanks to The Township of Huron Kinloss and NWMO for their support of our 2020 tree program.

PRWIN 2020 4-H TREE PLANTING DAY AND SPRING SEEDLING PROGRAM POSTPONED

Due to the COVID 19 circumstances, PRWIN decided to make the difficult decision to cancel our 4-H Tree Planting Day and all personal seedling orders with our 2020 Seedling Program. We wanted to do our part to continue with social and physical distancing.

We will keep all 2020 personal orders on file and will contact you later in the year to confirm that you would like to participate in our program for 2021.
