THE BRUSSELS POST, APRIL 12,.1978 Turnberry talks land preservation (Continued front Page 5) used for agriculture should be, permitted brought a ' lot of response from the residents on both sides of the question. • Bev Brown said she would be against the drainage of wetlands for one reason and that would be because they prbvidecl a sanctuary for the birds. Turnberry Township councillor Doug Fortune said that if there Was some farmland above the wetlands and the only way to get the drainage was to go through the swamps then he thought drainage should be allowed. Les Tervit from the Saugeen Conservation Authority said they were doing a study of the Greenock Swamp which encompassed the swamp and the Teeswater watershed. "As far as the drainage is concerned I think you have to look at the entire cost-benefit in terms of the environment which may provide hab itats for wildlife . species as.opposed to drainage df agricultural land. I think there has to be a tradeoff somewhere," Mr. Tervit said. Another man in the. audience said, "If yoti're going to improve acorner of a field and maybe gain three or four acres it seems to me to, be an advantage to ,drain it". He added that, he was against draining too much. To a question about what they would consider to be the major natural environment areas in Turnberry, Don Wool cott answered, "All woodlots and swamps in existence at the present time." Bev. Brown commented that some people considered blind -roads to be a real plus to the. natural environment. George Penfold asked residents what value they p laced on" the preservation of natural environment areas, and to what degree they wanted them protected. Councillor • Doug Fortune said residents had to think whether they should protect natural environment at the expense of agriculture or whether natural environment was 'an expense to agriculture. He asked what the residents thought about cottages being put along the rivers. Mrs. John Wray said that the people who had cottages would be coming over onto farmer's land and she would be against using the river area for cottages if ther were adjacent farms because she said there would be a constant tattle between the farmer and the cottage owner, Public not private Mr. Penfold asked whether she was suggesting that any development should be public rather than private and Mrs. Wray said yes, she thought so, Councillor Fortune asked Mr. Infold what had been written into some of the other township plans regarding natural environment. Mr. Penfold replied that in some extreme cases a municipality had put all of, its water courses, and dryland forest areas into the natural environment category. Other townships had modified that approach and just put major water courses and major wetland areas into the. natural environment category. They had also put into their plan that dcaring would require township approval. Control Mr. Penfold said that one of the reasons foi doing this was that the municipality could then establish the level of penalty and it could come back to municipal control. "By and large all of the plans recognized what exists there cow," Mr. Penfold said. To the next question of what obligations the individual land owner and the government should have in preserving the natural environment one woman in the audience said, "I 'think the individual land, owner if they're going to preserve the natural environment, they're going to have to fight the goVernment," . As an example she cited hunters who had trespassed on her farm' to shoot some geese. "What's the use of preserving natural environment? Where does the eovernment expect these people to hunt, when ,they sell them the licence?" she asked. She wanted to know why farmers should have to post signs co their property to keep people off 4 it. "What's the use of entering to natural environment if the- government is working against you", she ,said. ---P"vve• enjoy the geese and if the geese are on our land those geese should be left alone, the government should see to that," Mr. Penfold said the secondary plan should not be looked at as an itun-clad document but as a starting point in the '.Tocess.
