Huron endorses wetland guidelines
Huron County Council will work
with the Ministry of Natural
Resources' wetland guidelines and
"see what happens".
The county gave its support at the
January session, but planning direc-
tor Dr. Gary Davidson reassured
council that it is not giving
"wholehearted" support to the
guidelines.
The wetland guidelines say the et -
ficial plans should protect significant
wetlands as wets as having zoning
bylaws which allow for forestry,
waterfowl production. open space and
fisheries management in the
wetlands.
"1 agree with what's in the
guidelines, but l also believe that the
farmer should be consulted and we
should also work with them," said
Morris Township Reeve Bill Elston.
Reeve Elston said it would be to the
farmer's benefit to work with the
ministry and the county on the
guidelines
liowick Township Reeve Jack Staf-
ford mentioned a concern he has
heard regarding waterfowl sanc-
tuaries. Reeve Stafford has heard
that crops neighboring a sanctuary
have been destroyed by waterfowl.
That fact has to be considered when
working with these guidelines, said
the Ilowick Reeve.
