When Summer finally starts to show, it often signifies growth and regeneration, and in forestry, it’s no exception. At the beginning of May every year, Miisun runs an annual tree plant. On the Kenora and Whiskey Jack Forests, over 1.2 million trees were planted during the 2021 planting season. The tree planting is being done by Brinkman Reforestation.

Tree planting is usually conducted in areas that have been harvested which were mainly composed of coniferous trees (pines and spruces), but can be done in other situations as well. If you have any other questions regarding tree planting, feel free to contact Derian Caron at derian.caron@miisun.ca.

In what is an annual tradition, Miisun made donations to those less fortunate. This year, the recipients were Compassionate Kenora and the Fellowship Center, both of which recieved $3,000.

Located at 109 Main St. S, Compassionate Kenora is a not-for-profit organization who provide all inclusive care services for those in need, including clinical services, warm meals, and therapeutic Sharing Circles.

The Fellowship Center are a First Nation owned Non-Profit Organization, with the mission to “Clothe the naked, to help the helpless, to feed the hungry, to love the unloved, and to guide the lost.”

On October 14, 2010, Weyerhaeuser Company Limited joined with several First Nations, the Government of Ontario, and other forest companies and contractors in signing an historic shareholder-managed Sustainable Forest Licence (SFL) covering the Kenora Forest.
