general and Hay swamp in
. particular. Emphasizing his
theme that "wet lands are not
wastelands", Kennaly
pointed out the many benefits
provided by an area such as
the swamp. Besides the
recreational opportunities for
hiking, fishing, snowmobiling
and birdwatching, wetlands
vegetation filters impurities
out of the water that eventual-
ly flows through local taps.
Agricultural and conserva-
tion goals sometimes conflict;
drained swampland, rich in
nutrients, makes excellent
land for market gradening in
the short term, but the
nutrients are soon depleted.
When farming operations
are conducted too close to a
waterway like Black Creek.
there is danger of chemcial
pollution of the water.
Kennaly told the students
the provincial government is
now working on a new policy
paper concerning wetlands
management.
At noon a busload of
students accompanied by
principal Don O'Brien, other
staff and Kennaly, went to the
Black Creek area. They pick-
ed out different kinds of
plants and vegetation and
even spied a big pike in the
creek! an excellent indicator
of the good quality of the
water.
By the time the senior
grades were ready for their
trip. the skies had opened and
the rain was pouring down.
Undaunted, everyone piled
onto the bus for a mobile
classroom tour - of the
swamp. Kennaly pointed out
some areas reforested by the
conservation authority and
other places where the land
had been cleared for farming.
The students saw drainage
outlets. a variety of trees. and
the entrance to the Exeter
waste disposal site.
The tour was conducteMike
an informal class. with Ken-
naly explaining the
significance of what the
students were seeing,. and
asking them questions. The
students -in turn were free to
ask their own questions. and
make comments:
All returned to the school
wetter but wiser.
