This year, planting plans will cut tens of thousands of planting plans in Hamilton and surrounding areas.
The Progressive Conservative government has cut $4. 6-
The 50 million-tree plan, labeled it as an example of "stupid" spending taxpayers' money.
The news came shortly after the protection authorities learned that their annual provincial flood control budget was cut by half.
Rob Keane, head of forest Ontario, said the project is considered a tool to combat climate change, poor air quality and erosion and has planted more than 27 million trees

More than three of them are provincial-funded young trees.
It seems "The timing is particularly bad" to start hacking trees"
Lynda Lukasik, Hamilton's supervisor, said planting and flood management Cash showed another year of massive flooding in the province.
"It's so low
Cost methods for using public funds to make air cleaner, mitigate the effects of climate change, and better manage rain.
"It's really not the time to stop supporting," she said . ".
However, the new provincial government does not think so.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Natural Resources, Justin Lewis, described the project as "the perfect example of a former Liberal government squandering taxpayers' money," saying that the private sector forestry industry has grown 68 million trees a year.
