Program.
According' to Resources
Technologist Dave Grummett,
M.V.C.A. planted about 40,000
trees in 1977. Due to the number
of tree planting requests from
local landowners • however,
available staff and machinery
cannot keep up to the demand for
trees.
As tree orders have already
been processed for 1978,
expansion of the program will not
take effect until the 1979 season.
Resources Manager Ian
Deslaurier is presently arranging
meetings with municipal councils'
to discuss the next stage of a Fill
Line Mapping Program for the
Maitland River Watershed.
Fill lines are mapped rural
was to identify hazard zones
within which landowners/
developers would experience
hardship, while alsd contributing
to environmental damage due to
development. In addition to
identifying watercourses, the fill
lines indicate hazards such as
unstable slopes, erosion or
pollution prone areas, ground
water recharge areas and areas
susceptible to flooding, organic
soils and marshalands, and
special natural habitat zones.
The Authority held an auction
sale in Lower Town Wingham
during the month of October. The
sale produced almost $1,300.
from the autcioning of various
building materials that were left
following demolition of houses in
the Turnberry Floodplain. Funds
raised were used to offset
demolition costs.
Several applications for
permission to, trap on Authority
lands have been received at the
M.V.C.A. office following d
recent change in Ontario
Trapping Regulations. Under the
new ,laws enforced by the
Ministry of Natural Resources,
trappers must have the consent of
the landowner in order to conduct
any trapping operation.

Executive Committee have
esulted in a decision not to allow
trapping on
unless any animals become
Conservation land, nuisance to be dealt with under
