GODERICH SIGNA.l
rail Association looks
Whed one is nurturing a
project that is young, yet
important, many are the
anxieties, and concerns over
its development. But oh, the
delight when it starts to grow
and flourish! How ni,uch more
worthwhile the seemingly
unending .pro..t?.lem,s.,,pecome !
•
These feelings must have
been shared by•the initiators
of the Maitland Trail
Association last Thursday
evening, October 28 when
they held their .first annual
meeting in the. music room at
the Robertson Memorial
School, Close to 60 people
:packed the room - many . of.
them. newcomers —to the
Association.
Chairman Heinz Hoernig
described' tile first year's
activities-ca�utlined the
Association's plans and.,
projectsfor the following
year. The eventual aim is to,
have a hiking trail that
stretches from Goderich" to
Wingham, following the
Maitland River - including
branch trails.. Its develop-
ment • is similar to the way .the
Bruce Trail was•built.
First, the most appropriate
route is worked out. Then
since much of the route must
cross private property, the
owners are approached,' with
the hones of obtaining their
per.inission. This takes the
form of an ' unwritten "gen-
tlemen's agreement", which
may bewithdrawn if the
owner has a change of heart.
When permission is not
granted, the trail must detour
around that section.. Road
allowances and public lands
are also involved.
•
The responsibilities of the
Association don't end with the
construction of the -trail,
however. Members inspect
the trail to repair damage, if
any, and to clean up any
debris left by unthinking
users, and also endeavour td •
teach users proper "trail
manners". The most im-
portant rules, of course, are
to stick to the trail, since. it is
often on private land, to leave
no garbage, and' to do .no
harm to the environment.
As Mr. Hoernig reported,
toextendtoixtent..hike route
the ' first year's work has
resulted in three excellent
and scenic sections, to,.
provide good' hiking,
snowshoeing -and cross
country :skiing for outdoor
enthusiasts. Indeed, many
hikers have already enjoyed
these sections.
