Chatham-Kent Greening Strategy – Greening Partnership – 2007
In 2007 Council approved the creation of the Greening Partnership Program between the Municipality of Chatham-Kent and the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority.
The partnership’s focus is on tree planting, habitat restoration and riparian buffer creation efforts within the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. This partnership has secured over $1.2 million dollars in grant funding for Chatham-Kent since the inception of the program.
Chatham-Kent Forest Management Strategy - 2003
The preservation and enhancement of tree and forest cover throughout Chatham-Kent was a key message that evolved during the development of the Community Strategic Plan and the Chatham-Kent Official Plan.
In late 2002, Council instructed administration to develop a Forest Management Strategy to protect and enhance forest cover throughout Chatham-Kent.
In September of 2003, administration reported the results of the study and public consultation to Council along with 20 recommendations that became the Forest Management Stratefy for Chatham-Kent.
