Its purpose was to convert blow sands of Norfolk County back into woodlots and to grow seedlings for distribution to other areas. Its development and success was due in large part to three gentlemen, LtCol. Arthur C. Pratt, Walter F. McCall, and Dr. Edmund J. Zavitz. They secured the land and convinced the Ontario Government that soil conservation was critical and could be achieved through reforestation. ---Throughout its history, the nursery has produced millions of bareroot reforestation seedlings."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---size is approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---.
