More ducks expected Gamebird area increased The portion of the 2,198 hec- tare Hullett Wildlife Manage- ment Area (WMA) designated exclusively for waterfowl and other migratory game bird hunting has been increased for the 1983 season, Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said this week. The minister added that the whole habitat improvement project at Hullett is expected - to be completed a year ahead of schedule Once the $1.5 -million pro- ject is completed at the end of 1984, the WMA will include 779 hectares of prime waterfowl habitat in an area which previously had no major stag- ing areas for migratory, waterfowl. The sucess of the Hullett WMA project, Pope said, is due to the combined efforts of Ducks Unlimited and • his ministry. The project is already reporting positive results,Pope noted. "Several new species.of ducks are tak- ing advantage of the flooded areas and more ducks can be expected in the near future." The Hullett project is one of . the largest of its kind in On- tario. To date, a total of 25 kilometres of dikes have been erected parallel to the South Maitland River. Ducks Unlimited has spent $1.2-mil'jon so far on dike con- struction and maintenance and to date -has developed over 243 hectares of water- fowl habitat. The current regulations devide Hullett into two hun- ting zones. Zone A is for waterfowl and other migratory game bird hunting only, and hunters must shoot from designated locations. One-third of this zone is a sanctuary area -for the birds. This year, 166 hec- tares of additional waterfowl habitat was created including 121 hectare' of hunting area, and 45 hectares of sanctuary. In Zone B 1 combination of upland'game, including phea- sant, grouse and rabbits, and' waterfowl hunting is permitted. As the marsh area is in- creased, Pope sajd, Zone -A will increase in size and Zone - B will be reduced. The overall effect will be to provide more breeding and staging areas for waterfowl, and more Min- ting opportunities for sportsmen. This project is the result of an agreement signed in 1979 between Ducks Unlimited and the Ministry of Natural Resource which called for Ducks unlimited to fund con- struction and maintenance forth development of marsh habitat on the ministry's wildlife management area at Hullett. ---`The work of Ducks Unlimited and my ministry in places like Hullett is felt, not just locally, but all along the natural migratory route of our wild waterfowl -- throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico," Mr. Pope said. Ducks Unlimited, a private agency funded by Canadian and U.S. sportsmen, funds waterfowl management pro- jects across Canada. Between 1974 and - 1982, it spent $7 -million in Ontario on 119 wetland conservation pro- jects involving 8,560 hectares of land, more than half of that Crown -owned. 40th anniversary for Varna couple By Mary Chesseli - Harvey and Maureen Ilayter's fortieth wedding an- niversary was on December 28.
