SNC Launches a Derecho Storm Recovery Program for Private Landowners
Submitted by K Smith on Fri, 07/07/2023 - 2:17pmSouth Nation Conservation (SNC) is introducing an Eastern Ontario Derecho Storm Reforestation Program, a storm recovery program for private landowners who were directly affected by the destructive storm last year.
On May 21, 2022, a narrow line of intense winds up to 195 km/hr, caused extensive damage to forested areas in Eastern Ontario from the City of Ottawa eastward through the municipalities of Clarence-Rockland, Alfred-Plantagenet, Champlain, and East Hawkesbury.
Over 300 landowners contacted SNC for assistance in the aftermath of the derecho storm.
