2. Executive Summary
This report satisfies the Phase 1 requirements of the GW New Brunswick Project
Ltd. June 13, 2008 approved project proposal submitted by Hollands Forestry
Consulting. Thus report indicates that by 2018 assuming the successful
establishment of a quality Christmas tree plantation on the GW properties, the
project will account for approximately 2% of the province’s sales. New Brunswick
has consistently generated 10% of Canada’s sales of Christmas trees between
2003 and 2007.
New Brunswick markets are dependent on exports to the United States for
success. Approximately 85% or more of trees grown in New Brunswick are used
to satisfy export markets.
Balsam fir is the bulk of the trees used for this purpose and is a native tree to
New Brunswick. Fraser fir is also used however cultivating this tree requires
significantly higher diligence and care to allow this tree to achieve its crop
potential. Markets for Scotch pine and white pine appear to be declining.
This report identifies several agencies that support growers in the art and science
of tree growing and marketing. Key government agencies and the start of a list of
competing growers are also presented.
Remote sensing suggests that 43.7 hectares of the GW properties have potential
for development. This will result in a maximum of 110,000 trees. The actual figure
established on the project area will be less than this amount due to periodic
mortality typically associated with natural plant systems and due to
space requirements for within plantation access trails for tending and
maintenance equipment.
Available imagery did not permit adequate evaluation of the current vegetative
condition of the York property, although the front end of the parcel looks to
support heavier vegetation than that found at the rear of the property. Heavy site
preparation (tree chippers and herbicide use) to clear both parcels is anticipated.
A site assessment is required to verify the productive area for each property and
site preparation requirements and costing. Soil analysis to assess fertility and
initial fertilization schemes will also be conducted as part of the proposed site
assessment.
Remote sensing confirms that the majority of the GW properties can be
considered upland which could feasibly support development of a Christmas tree
farm. The properties appear to have an existing heavy brush to woodland
vegetative cover, however a viable timber harvest is not anticipated. Chipping or
heavy site preparation is anticipated to allow for the establishment of the project.
Further on-site evaluation is recommended.

4. 1.0 Overview of the New Brunswick Christmas Tree
Industry
Wikipedia reports that North America cuts 40 million Christmas trees annually,
with 3 to 6 million trees cut from Canadian Christmas tree farms. This suggests
that Canadian share of the North American Christmas tree production can range
from 7% to 15%. The web posting goes on to state that in 1995 Ontario, Quebec
and Nova Scotia accounted for 80% of the Canadian production. These
provinces, together with British Columbia and New Brunswick in 1995 accounted
for 95% of Canada’s land in production of this crop. During this time Quebec
generate a third of Canada’s production.
Figure 1 below provides a comparative view of provincial annual Christmas tree
sales from 2003 to 2007 1 . The trend in sales appears relatively consistent from
year to year for Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The largest producer
of Christmas trees, Quebec, experienced a recent decline in sales of $17 million
(cdn.) The reason for this decline was not provided with the data.

5. In 2004 Wikipedia notes that Canada had a production of 3.9 million trees
valued at $62 million of which $36.2 million was generated by 2.5 million
exported trees. Quebec accounted for over 30% of this production.
2
The New Brunswick Christmas tree industry is reported to have 350 active
growers putting to market approximately 0.5 million trees annually which
generates revenues around $10 million (cdn). These figures presented by INFOR
may be a somewhat optimistic when compared to the revenue data presented in
figure 1 which suggest sales for the province around $6.2 million (cdn.) 3
Export to the United States, particularly the eastern seabord accounts for more
that 85% percent or more of these trees. The wreath and greenery market adds
another $20 million in annual sales making New Brunswick the largest Canadian
greenery-exporter. This industry generates 4,500 full time annual seasonal jobs.
Figure 2 below suggests that on average over the five year term between 2003
and 2007 New Brunswick contributes approximately 10% of Canada’s sales
based on date use to generate figure 1.

sales demand and producers remain consistent.
2.0 Industry Contacts
Growers in the province have the opportunity to become a member of six
regional associations. These associations contribute to the New Brunswick
Christmas Tree Growers Coop Ltd. which is the provincial agency responsible for
lobbying the provincial government. Membership in this association is
administered by INFOR. INFOR is the key information source for Christmas tree
growers in New Brunswick.
Due to the large dependence on export markets, membership in the National
Christmas Tree Association is considered essential to doing business in the
Untied States. The New Brunswick Coop is a member of this association,
however membership and direct contribution to the Market Expansion Program of
the association is recommended by area growers.
The following section presents additional information about the associations
involved with Christmas tree growing and marketing in New Brunswick.
2.1 Christmas Tree Associations
This section of the report presents the contact information for industry
associations that may provide value to the grower. These agencies are generally
membership driven groups. Groups with potential relevance to GW New
Brunswick Project are listed below.
INFOR
INFOR is a key resource to the Christmas tree industry in New Brunswick. All
points of inquiry lead back to INFOR at some point in the discussion. The agency
was formed through the initiative of the New Brunswick Christmas Tree Growers
Association, the NB Maple Syrup Association and the New Brunswick Federation
of Woodlot Owners with support from the NB Department of Natural Resources.
The contact for Christmas tree culture at INFO is Chris Dickey. The contact
information is noted below.

2.2 Professional Associations
Christmas tree management is designated an agricultural activity in New
Brunswick. There is some crossover however with forestry in many of the
management activities supporting Christmas tree farming can be considered to
fall within the scope of the practice of forestry. The used of the term Registered
Professional Forester (R.P.F.) is not currently a right-to-practice term with
membership in the association still voluntary. Efforts are underway to amend the
provincial legislation to elevate the designation to right-to-practice and
subsequent Licensure as has previously occurred in other provinces in Canada.
Application for temporary membership with A.R.P.F.N.B. to cover any work
undertaken within the province by this author is required out of courtesy and
demonstration of professional conduct.

2.3 Growers List
INFOR indicates there are approximately 350 growers in the province of New
Brunswick. Appendix I presents a short list of nurseries as presented on the
INFOR website and the Canadian Christmas Tree Growers Association website.
This provides an initial contact list from which to develop contacts and network
within the local industry.
2.4 Regional Woodlot Association
Timber sales in New Brunswick are administered and marketed through regional
marketing boards. These boards were developed by landowners to negotiate fair
prices with industry and lobby the provincial government on issues affecting
private landowners. The formation of these associations is enshrined in provincial
legislation. Seven regional boards are established in New Brunswick.
The associations provide forest management advice and logistics support to
private woodlot owners looking to market timber from their lands. It also
administers provincial funds available to assist landowners for silviculture, the
bulk of these dollars are allocated to thinning and tree planting.
York Sunbury Charlotte Forest Products Marketing Board
The marketing board for the region of the project is the York Sunbury Charlotte
Forest Products Marketing Board. The potential sale of timber should
merchantable wood be found growing on the property will require marketing the
timber through this board. A spring 2008 price list for timber is presented in
Appendix II.

3.0 Regulatory Considerations
This section presents regulations with the potential to impact or direct activities
on the project area.
3.1 Environment
Migratory Bird Convention Act, 1994
The purpose of this federal legislation is to protect and conserve migratory birds
in Canada and the United States as populations and individual birds, and their
nests. With consideration of the protection of nests (avoid disturbing) during the
breeding season in there is no significant concern of contravention of this
legislation.
Endangered Species Act Chapter E-9.101, March 22, 1996
Fifteen plant and animal wildlife species are identified as species at risk by the
province of New Brunswick 4 . Review of this list suggests a very low likelihood of
impacts to habitat associated development of the GW properties. Key habitat
requirements for the species on this list are not likely to be found on the GW
property, particularly those parts of the property suitable for growing trees.
Fish and Wildlife Act Chapter F-14.1, July 16, 1980
No concerns anticipated assuming use of standard methods to control runoff to
mitigate sedimentation for any work around streams or water bodies.
Municipal Zoning/Provincial Land Use Planning
Review of property information indicates the Sunbury parcel (13.4 hectares) is
described as Woodland and the Property Type termed Timberland. No conflict is
anticipated with the intended use.
Review of property information indicates the York parcels (13.1 and 29.2
hectares) the parcels are described as Land with a property type termed

11. Residential Lots – Unserviced. Further research is required to confirm that
development as a Christmas tree farm is an accepted use of this land.
Pest Control Products Act.
The is federal legislation administered by Pest Management Regulatory Agency
(PMRA) of Health Canada. All herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides fall under
this Act. This agency through its legislation determines which products may be
used and how they are to be used in Canada.
Pesticides Control Act
This is the provincial legislation that along with its regulations, licences how
pesticides are applied within the province. Licences are required to sell these
regulated products. Licences are also required to apply these products. There
are also times when permits are required to allow the application of pesticides.
This program is administered by the Pesticides Management Unit of the
Environment Department of the government of New Brunswick. 5
3.2 Export
Two Canadian agencies are involved with the export of goods.
The Canada Food Inspection Agency
http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/toce.shtml
The Canada Food Inspection Agency has jurisdiction over the export of plant
material including Christmas trees. Currently, Phytosanitary Certificates are
required to ship Christmas trees to Mexico. Specific procedures are required to
be followed by producers to this market. The certificate is renewable every five
years. A local grower indicates that the Mexican government also requires their
inspectors to physically assess each grower at the growers cost of bringing the
inspectors to Canada.
This grower also indicated that the agency also plays a role with shipments to the
United States, however the agency’s website does not provide any specific
reference to this requirement. Additional research is suggested to better
understand this agency’s export requirements to this market.
Export Development Canada www.edc.ca
Export Development Canada is an arm of Industry Canada that facilitates the
development of export opportunities for Canadian business. The agency also
administers a program that guarantees payment of exports. Additional research
of these programs may be of value to GW New Brunswick.
5
http://www.gnb.ca/0009/0369/0002/0001-e.asp
10

12. 3.3 Grading
Christmas trees graded in the province of New Brunswick are administered under
the Natural Products Grades Act (O.C. 84-546). The Coop described above also
plays a role in the administration of the program. This provincial act regulates the
practice of Christmas tree grading, defines eligible persons that may perform the
grading and defines the fees and eligible charges for grading services.
4.0 Market Considerations
The New Brunswick Christmas tree market is primarily focused on export to the
United States. The Atlantic seaboard is the market that draws the majority of this
province’s exports to the United States. The New Brunswick industry is also
credited with exports to Mexico, South America and the Caribbean Islands
region.
Export markets are critical for a successful Christmas tree farm due the relatively
limited local market. The population of New Brunswick is relatively small at
approximately 700,000 people. This population is largely rural or has generally
easy access to obtain their own Christmas tree from forested or woodland areas
and are not necessarily dependent on the retail Christmas tree outlets to satisfy
their demand.
Development of efficient distribution and retail outlets along the Atlantic seaboard
is key to the successful marketing of any grower’s product. Tree form, species
and quality tolerances vary throughout this market. Development of an
understanding of the consumer variation will assist with improved targeting of
sales. It has also been suggested through research for this report that greater
revenue opportunities are created for the grower if they have ownership in the
retail outlet opportunity.
Wholesale volume distribution to large retailers such as Walmart or Home Depot
generally provides the opportunity to market a wide range of quality at a lower
price per tree. This assures revenue but may forego maximizing income. The
industry has a quality classification system that uses a series of measures to
determine Christmas tree quality. Pricing is often based on this classification.
Local markets however may vary in the degree of tolerance within a quality
classification.
New Brunswick growers typically grow Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea) for the bulk
of their output 6 . A portion of growers also have a component of Frazer Fir
however INFOR suggests growing this tree can be more demanding than balsam
6
Telephone conversation with Chris Dickie, INFOR June 10, 2004.
11

13. fir. A recent conversation with a former Ontario Christmas tree farm manager 7
suggests that Scotch pine is not as popular as it once was and growers are
moving away form this product.
5.0 Development Potential
Local growers typically budget eight years from establishment to develop a
suitable crop which generates first revenues. One grower uses a 12 year cycle
with revenues generated in years 8 through 10. Year 11 is scheduled for site
preparation treatments (stump pulling or grinding, tilling the land and
establishment of a cover crop to rehabilitate soil conditions) and planting of new
stock in Year 12 begins the next cycle. Diligence with weed control and tending is
critical to reduce competition for site resources from other vegetation and to
reduce potential impacts from rodents (mice, voles, and rabbits)
A local grower with 185 acres in production indicated that they consistently
produce 5,000 to 6,000 trees based on the current tree development on their
farm 8 an typical sales. The grower has however secured sales between 10,000
to 13,000 trees this year and will fulfill the order through the purchase of available
stock from other growers since they have not prepared sufficient number in
advance to accommodate this spike in sales.
5.1 Remote Sensing Assessment
GW lands for the project have a potential growing capacity of over 100,000 trees
assuming the area estimated from remote sensing is truly
plantable ground. This potential will be verified during site inspections where
plantable ground and current ground cover will be accurately classified and
mapped using global positioning system software. The table below presents the
result and assumptions used to estimate the planting potential for the GW
properties.
Images for the York and Sunbury parcels are presented in Appendix III.
The Sunbury parcel has the majority of its land area supporting a bog type
wetland that is not suitable for growing tree. A road system is reasonable close to
productive portion of this property that access to future plantations can be
established at reasonable cost. The potential productive are of this property
currently supports heavy brush with scattered residual trees. Heavy site
preparation in the form of a hydro-axe for chipping head is required to reduce this
competition to allow for plantation establishment.

14. The majority of the York property appears productive land with potential for
supporting a Christmas tree farm. However the resolution of the available
satellite imagery does not support as detailed an assessment as that provided for
Sunbury. A ground assessment is required to verify the type of vegetation cover
on this property.

Assumptions

does not considered loss are due to within plantation corridors for equipment access
for tending and maintenance.
Ground accessment of plantable area will net these estimates down.
5.2 Soil Sampling
The proposed project area will be stratified by slope and other appropriate factors
affecting soil moisture and drainage. Each defined area will have a series of soil
samples taken within which to average soil fertility will be assessed and a
recommended fertilization program proposed. Soil samples will be submitted to
INFOR for analysis. The sampling program will follow that prescribed by INFOR.
5.3 Foliage Analysis
INFOR also provides foliage analysis to assist growers with refinement of
fertilizing regimes to ensure optimum growth and colour of crop trees. This
service is not required until seedlings have been established.
13

15. 6.0 Summary
The GW New Brunswick Project has a maximum potential of establishing
110,000 seedlings on 43.7 of productive land on two parcels. The larger parcel in
York has a potential of 40.0 hectares that may be put into production. The
Sunbury property has only 3.7 hectares. This assessment is base on remote
sensing using Google Earth Pro 9 .
Heavy brush clearing is anticipated for the small portion of productive land
available on the Sunbury parcel. The image resolution was not sufficient to
qualify site preparation requirements on the York parcel and a site visit is
recommended.
