The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) has given Muskoka Conservancy $69,200 for a new program. The organization is partnering with Westwind Forest Stewardship to create a healthy trees program over the course of two years. Muskoka Conservancy’s Executive Director Kristie Virgoe says it’s focused on providing private landowners outreach.
