Good places to visit
Conservation areas
about the same as the property in Ethel but
has a gravel ridge and from there the view
is quite scenic, Mr. Grummett said.
WOODLOT
The area here is also good for a woodlot
management program to improve timber
production, wildlife habitat, extensive
recreation and education through develop-
ment.
The Authority is hoping to develop two
ponds there for trout fishing and also plans
to make more trails for cross country
skiing.
The educational aspects of the property
which make it good for geography studies
and stream studies are there now as well as
an existing trail up to the ponds. The
principal attraction however, will be when
the ponds are stocked for the first time next
year.
"It's surprising the number of people
who do use the smaller areas," Mr.
Grummett said.
DAY USE
The Pioneer Conservation Area in Blue-
valc has 33 acres and is strictly a day use
area which provides opportunity for
picnics, swimming, angling, canoeing and
baseball. There is a baseball diamond right
within the area. Local people are the main
users.
In the future, the Authority hopes to
provide additional parking, and improve-
ments to existing swimming facilities and it
also hopes to work along with the Ministry
of Natural Resources in rejuvenating a fish
resource there. A few years ago this
conservation area was known as a bass
resort.
The maple syrup making operaton is the
principal attraction of the Maple Keys
Sugar Bush near Ethel. Local people also
use this 104 acre area for cross country
skiing and snowmobiling. This summer the
Authority will be working on providing off
road parking and improving the trail
system.
To protect and maintain water
capabilities is the main purpose of the
Morris Hill Forest Tract. In this particular
watershed, land for flood control has to rely
on its forested areas.
The Pollard-Ament Tract is the
Authority's largest area around Brussels at
366 acres and is basically managed for its
forest resources. Recreation there would
be limited to outdoor education trips.
Just who does use these Conservation
Areas? Well, hunters would use the
Pollard-Ament Tract, Morris H ill and the
Maple Keys Sugar Bush. Pioneer is mainly
used by local people although now and
then an outsider might drop in for a picnic.
The Maple. Keys Sugar Bush, is probably
the area which would draw more than just
local people. It would take in people who
lived within a 50 or 60 mile radius
according to Mr. Grummett.
Are all these visitors careful ones? About
95 per cent of the people who visit
Conservation Areas use the trash con-
tainers provided for their use, Mr.
Grummett says and people mostly respect
their local conservation area and will call
the authority if they see something wrong.
