[CANUFNET] Riverwalk tree planting spec's

HI John 
To help decide your trees and sites please check this out 

ACER has been working with TRCA, many conservation authorities and the city of Mississauga to plant and monitor success  in riparian zone plantings  in our Riparian Rangers program since 2014. See the reports www.acer-acer.ca/aboutus/publications <http://www.acer-acer.ca/aboutus/publications>   
Field Guide for Native Tree and Shrub Monitoring  is on line and includes identification and  ACER monitoring protocols http://www.trca.on.ca/dotAsset/215966.pdf <http://www.trca.on.ca/dotAsset/215966.pdf>

TRCA has been the pioneer partner in ACER in developing this long-term data collection of 10% trees tagged with permanent  metal tag 
Tags that we make to order have  with a planting site 3 letter code, Season initial, year of planting,  and unique tree number on a cable tie system large enough for a few years growth. 

TRCA hires summer staff to maintain (weed control, mulch) and remeasure on a regular basis
They order these tags from us when they plan their planting season - we send them the tags on the cable ties on rings for easier use in the field 
also do express orders when pians change as we make them here in our office on our  big Sterling machine  special for aluminum embossing - ( machine is heavy duty - also used in auto vin numbers )

Stephanie Smith at TRCA has been in charge there for this program with Vince D’Elia supervising
