Mr.,, Adams' also explained ..
'that he still found it •necessary to
allow trapping on a linnitec.basis
t>a the ponds to ' keep the
Muskrats under control. "One
evening my wife and I were out
here," he. notes, "pad we saw 14
muskrats" at one • time and on
another occasion counted 56 in
one evening."
Muskrats are the only animal
tile- new streams -and -ponds-•
provide . homi s. Pip H has
stocked his waterways with
trout that, as he explains, "Are
growing at a terrific rate." Ducks
also see the ponds as an ideal
spot for a stop over anct Mr.
Adams has Giant% Wild Rice on
order from an American firm
that he plans to plant in the
marshes as feed for the ducks.
"All the water is top water, Mr.
- Adams stresses,. "which�mean,� •j.�.•„
makes excellent homes for
wildlife and much better than
run, off water." All the
waterways are spring fed and in,
a number of places fresh,pure
water, runs out•of a hillside. •
The work has resulted in a
beautiful habitat for humans as
well. Mr. Adams and his family
enjoy countless hours during
both summer and winter in this
new found paradise. During
summer the shade trees, and
swimming hole are ideal to wile
away summer evenings and in
the winter the project with its
cabin makes the perfect spot to
start a cross country skiing trek
from.
The best part of this whole
success story may be that there
i~s still more to come. .Just this
summer_ the drag lines have
opened up a new pond on the
—Worth end-6i1he tdt' which Will
be connected to the others by a
stream and even a man made
waterfall is to be incorporated.
, The hole is dug but now the area
must be landscaped and cleaned
up beforeit too becomes truly
_
part of the scene. ' After that,
well there's always something
else to work on.
There's that bush in the north

out, and Mr. Adams 'ays he'd
like to build a new access road,
and the wild rice will have to be
planted in the spring. There's
always lots to do.
"I've been offered . a pretty
tempting price on occasion for

"but I don't really want to sell
