Ministry will not impose bounty system on beaver Nuisance beaver are causing problems in some local municipalities, but the Ministry of - Natural _ Resources says it has . no intention of instituting a bounty system like Culross council has suggested. In a letter circulated to neighboring townships and the MNR, Culross Clerk - Treasurer Robert Cronin stated his township has "had a very serious problem with nuisance beavers". The letter went on to suggest that a bounty, similar to the one placed on wolves, should be placed on beaver, but that suggestion has not met with much success. The bounty system has not met with much success in the past, by ministry standards, according to Conservation Officer Bob Pegg from the Wingham district office. If the MNR receives a complaint from a muni - Ethel Stewart dies after lengthy. illness A native of Morris Town- ship, Ethel Stavert Stewart of Copeland Lodge, Wingham, passed away last Thursday, Jan. 13, at the Wingham and District Hospital after a lengthy illness.

Kitchener N2H 5C6 14S -S641 cipality or a landowner about problem beaver, he said, ministry officials refer them to experienced local trappers who can be ap- proached to trap the beaver out of an area. In the past, traps were loaned to landowners, but it became too costly because sometimes the traps were returned broken or not at all. Therefore, the ministry now acts in more of an advisory capacity. Mr. Pegg said he can sympathize with landowners if beaver have built dams on their drains, but can't see what else the ministry could do. "We're not passing the buck, but it's their respon- sibility." . The prime season for beaver pelts is Oct. 25 to March 31, but a landowner or a licensed trapper is allowed to trap the animals with a leg -hold trap anytime if the beaver are proving to be a nuisance. A farmer also can shoot an offending animal or use any other method to destroy it which does not cause "undue suffering" to the creature, said Mr. Pegg. Often, ministry officials don't like to see beaver in- vade an area any more than landowners do, because they can spoil a trout stream and make it impossible for the fish to spawn. When asked if the ministry had stocked the areawith beaver in -the first place, Mr. Pegg said absolutely not. Beaver have been known to cause problems all over, he said, so the ministry wouldn't bring them into an area intentionally, But the fact remains, the animals have caused serious damage to some local waterways, particularly in Culross, where Mr. Cronin reported the municipality has been forced to dynamite beaver dams ;off of two municipal drains ,at its own expense. Beaver feed on soft woods, poplar in particular, which is found in abundance in the 200 -square -mile Greenock GET -OFF -OIL Install - Electric Heating.

WALLACE Director Chairman Swamp. Once the animals exhaust their food supply in one area, they move on to another, said Mr. Cronin, which explains their gradual migration into southern townships and even as far away as Clinton. Mr. Cronin said many local trappers feel low market value for beaver pelts does not justify their time at trapping and skin- ning, therefore a bounty system should be instituted. But one Holyrood-area trapper disagrees. Charles Brindley has trapped in Culross and said he feels there are enough trappers in the area to take care of the problem without a bounty. Also, instituting a bounty would cause trappers to over -harvest the beaver and might clean them out of the area completely. Serious trappers are eager to get along with landowners and therefore would go in and trap problem beaver even if the price per pelt was down, he said. Granted, pelts are not worth as much this year as others (approximately $16 per pelt, compared to about $25 last year), said Mr. Brindley. But trappers often get more valuable animals, like raccoon, when they have their traps set for beaver. What should munici- palities do if they have a problem with beaver? Hire one or two good trap- pers and pay them by the hour or by the pelt untilthe animals have been trapped\ out of problem areas, sug- gested Mr. Brindley, _._.: _ - That is what Howick Township did earlier this fall. Clerk -Treasurer Wes Ball said the municipality had two instances where beaver dams were threatening flooding of upstream land. Howick hired trappers especially to fight the problem and paid them for their time. "The province is not willing to do anything about it and they expect the municipality to pay for it," said -Mr. Ball. The Culross letter was presented at last Tuesday's meeting of Turnberry council, and even though members agreed beaver have been a problem in the past, they didn't think it would do any good to ask the ministry to impose a bounty. Beaver have not posed any serious problems in East Wawanosh or Morris town- ships yet, according to East Wawanosh Road Superin- tendent Ralph Campbell and Morris Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie. But Mr. Campbell said there seem to be more moving into the area all the time. WANTED Farm Grain Scales Dolly type, good wood top.
