Morris Tract forest depends on us
It is very likely that this will be our only
chance to protect this unique natural
treasure from the loggers saw....
Dear Editor:
The Moms Tract, a 144 acre forest, on the banks
of the Maitland River, is one of Huron County's
most exquisite, most pristine and most beautiful fo-
rests.
The Morris Tract is home to many rare and endan-
gered birds and plants. With an established trail sys-
tem, this forest has been enjoyed by many hikers,
naturalists and snowmobilers for decades.
The future integrity of this magnificent forest now
depends on us.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada, supported by
The Friends of the Morris Tract, negotiated to buy
this special forest from the County of Huron, in or-
der to protect it in perpetuity, as a natural, ever
evolving forest.
The Nature Conservancy and Friends of the Mor-
ris Tract have to raise $285,000.00 by the end of
February - the closing date of the sale. This sounds
like a lot of money, but we are off to a great start!
An anonymous benefactor has already pledged
$100,000 to match private sector donations . Thanks
to this generous contribution, every dollar donated
brings us $2.00 closer to our goal.
It is very likely that this will be our only chance to
protect this unique natural treasure from the logger's
saw. A natural treasure which reminds me of Henry
Thoreau and his life at Walden: "We can never have
enough nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of
inexhaustible vigor. The wilderness with its living
and its decaying trees, the thundercloud, and the
rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets.
We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and
some of life pasturing freely, where we never wan-
der."
Please help us to save the Morris Tract and give a
present to the future. Make your tax deductible con-
tributions payable to. the Nature Conservancy of
Canada re: the Moms Tract. Donations may be sent
to The Friends of the Morris Tract, Box 443 Gode-
rich, N7A 4C7. For further information call our lo-
cal campaign office at (519) 524-4363 or the Nature
Conservancy at 1-800-465-0029.
On behalf of the trees and all the other species
which find their home in the Moms Tract, I thank
you for your consideration.

Member, Friends of the Morris Tract
