Snapped and uprooted trees in Pinhey Forest on Aug. 29, 2022, more than three months after the devastating derecho windstorm on May 21, 2022.
Two years after a destructive derecho tore across eastern Ontario, one of the hardest-hit areas is taking the next step toward revitalizing its forests: planting new trees to replace the ones destroyed in the storm.Snapped and uprooted trees litter Ottawa's Pinhey Forest on Aug. 29, 2022, more than three months after the devastating derecho windstorm on May 21, 2022. A vast region east of the city is now starting to replace its lost trees with new ones.
Caroline Goulet, a forester with the conservation authority, said the derecho was not "consistent in regards to the way and the type of force that it hit." This variability has made the recovery process more complex, requiring a tailored approach for each property. "It was a hemlock forest of about 100 trees," Walker said. "Right now there's not very many hemlocks left here. I think there's less than five."
