For this reason it suggests that the township of Bosanquet, in which the Pinery is located, pass a zoning by-law to 'Control development. It .further suggests that the whole area might be designated as the “Ausable For­ est”. Within this area, the report recommends that the Ausable authority take over sites for public parks at Stoney Point, Port Franks and l,'0’45 acres in the pinery for a naturalist park. ' The other recommendations state: “That 370 acres of the Ausable River Gorge at Arkona be acquir­ ed by the Conservation authority for a park to be known as the Ausable Gorge Park. “That six small areas of from one to five acres be acquired for the public as picnic sites.” These areas are located near Hensail, Cromarty, Centralia, Lucan, Nairn, Parkhill, and Thedford. “That steps be taken by the Conservation authority to edu­ cate the public to avoid ‘the dumping of refuse and garbage on sideroads and beaches.” Reforestation Reforestation and fire preven­ tion are considered by the report to be the most important con- $300 Reward A $300.00 reward will be given for information lead­ ing to the arrest and conviction of anyone stealing any poultry, etc., at any of the Lakeview Poultry Farms at Exeter, Dashwood, or Lucan.

It recommends that the thority take over 37,513 acres of marginal and sub-marginal land to protect the natural water storage areas of the watershed and form the basis of a sound forestry policy for the water­ shed. The authority is also urged to establish a fire control system to fight fires anywhere in the area, but particularly in the lake-shore Pinery, Summarizing the present grievance, the report states “no systematic method (of reforesta­ tion) has been used in the past, little effort has foeen made to combat fire in the vulnerable area of the Pinery and only eight per cent of the woodland is fenced from cattle”. The Ausable forest would com­ prise thirteen areas at the fol­ lowing sites: Hay Swamp, Harp- ley, the Pinery, Smith Lake, River Bend, Arkona, McInnis, Parkhill, Bornish, Keyser, Ailsa Craig, Clandeboye and Staffa. Almost one-half of the total area has some form of tree cover. The largest area would, be 10,000 acres in the Hay Swamp, near the headwaters of the river, and suggested elsewhere in the report as the site of a large storage reservoir. Besides replanting open areas, the suggestion is to encourage natural regeneration and to as­ sist reforestation on privately- owned land. Other forestry recommenda­ tions were: That the Authority expropriate all tax delinquent land subject to the regulations of the Muni­ cipal Act. That counties and townships be encouraged to establish and extend the forests within their boundaries. That schools within the water­ shed be encouraged to enter the Provincial School Forestry Com­ petition. That the authority inaugurates a scheme to aid farmers in fenc­ ing their woodlots similar to that adopted by the County of Halton. This Halton County by­ law shares the cost of fencing their woodlots from cattle with farmers. Land Use And Wild Life Farmers and sportsmen to­ gether are urged by the Ausable report to help the Conservation Authority restore declining land and wildlife. These two vital phases of the overall conservation picture are dealt with extensively by the re­ port and it reflects considerable concern over the declining land values and loss of wildlife. Major responsibilities of the authority, the report suggests, are measures to inaugurate a policy of adjusting “land use to land capability” and an appeal to the federal government to ex­ amine Smith Lake in Lambton County as an important stop for migratory waterfowl. Through examining detailed soil profiles throughout the area, the experts have recommended many changes in land use to ad­ just it in harmony with the pro­ ductive capacity of the .soil. One major result of the soil studies is the decision that re­ forestation of a lot of poor land would be much more profitable than its present use. Aimed at restoring and main­ taining the fertility of the soil are the following recommenda­ tions, which although not new, are basic to any conservation scheme. That contour tillage, strip cropping, grassed waterways and restricted rotations be established On land designated for conserva­ tion farming, and that demon­ strations be arranged in these areas to promote conservation farming practices. That farm woodlots be fenced from cattle and plantations esta­ blished wherever feasible on .M | steeply sloping land and gravelly Au- Au- Two ladies were pre­ paring to board the air liner.

That long rotations of sod and grain foe established on clay and silty soils of the uplands to re­ sist erosion and build up organic content and fertility. That ponds and , streams used for watering stock be protected from trampling and pollution by cattle. That further research and in­ vestigation be made in compar­ ing land use to soil type and erosion, management of pastures and long rotations, and methods of increasing organic content of soils by green manure crops, field composting and more effi­ cient use of stable manure and plant waste. That the conservation author­ ity support a program of educa­ tion and publicity to acquaint the public, especially youth, with land use problems and * the methods of remedying abuses of natural resources. That a gully control demon­ stration foe carried out in the township of East Williams. Farmers, too, have an import­ ant role to play in the preserva­ tion of wild life who by follow­ ing the recommendation that they eliminate grazing of wood­ lots, use selective rather than clear cutting, plant small groups of trees, field bbundary hedges and wild life food patches. Other recommendations o n wiid life are as follows: That the streams of the water­ shed be improved for muskrats and fish foy any means capable of inducing permanent summer flow and planting the stream banks with alders and Willows. That consideration be given to a plan for decentralized control over the setting of muskrat trap­ ping dates to overcome the ef­ fects of differences in climate in different seasons. That the season on muskrats be closed for one year to allow the population to become re­ established. That, where thec.authority re­ quires extensive Water source areas, the right to trap for several years in succession be leased to individual trappers. That consideration be given to the protection Of predators of the meadow mouse hear reforest­ ed areas, particularly hawks and owls. That the Introduction of fish into the watershed be restricted to those parts of the river shown by the survey to he suitable for the species concerned. ’That owners of streams listed as suitable for sjpeckled trout should bo encouraged to improve them by constructing small trout ponds and other methods and that fishing in such im­ poundments he managed on a sustained yield basis.
