"Forest Recreation" is a pictorial essay of what sort of re- er . ation pursuits are available within Crowd Land and agree- ment forests. Snow! . obiling obviously is: one of these legit timate forms of recreation. "Winter Recreation On Publle Lands" is a publication intended to describe the facilities available on conservation areas, park commission .areas, pro - vinyls' parks, agreementforests, wildlife management areas, recreation' areas, and other Crown 'Lands. These three publications are available 'Through _ our Wingham Office for those who are interest- ed in receiving a copy, and they are free. A further publication put out by us at a cost of 50 cents is "Planta- tion Management". In the chapter concerning man's ac- tivity, we do .comment on the effects that snowmobilmg can have on the growth of . young trees. In summary, our District policy concerning snowmobile's is as. follows: - • Snowmobiling is 'a legitimate form of winter' recreation; however, like all forms ofrecrea- tion 'it does require certain limitations which have' not been fullyaccepted by the public using snowmobiles. The form, of Control applied by the. PhrOvincial Gov- eminent in general 'NWdepend on the extent and type of adverse affects that snowmobiles have: For our' own part, we are' con- cerned that, trespassing snowmb- bilers may be confused with tres- passing;, hunters . and adversely criticized. We are Concerned ,at the disturbance of ' deerr adin Y ,.. S areas, of dales a t©",trees and of the possible entry 0,f pollutants R into natural:streaims because of snowmobiling. Over the next few years: and as. soon as we can make proper plans, we expect to have snow, mobile°trails within the Wingham District.. These will be areas which can, because of the soil type and vegittation types, wltiatand heavy'pressures that snowmobiles have on natural systems. This legitimate form of receration will be purposely directed away from unique areas that we feel should be protected from disturbance of this nature. At present we expect no more controls than that. It is the future use of these snowmobilers by the public which will determine if additional restrictions must be placed on them, and I think; you will agree that any of the restrictions that we are interested in placing on snowmobiling at present are very legitimate and are the concerns of good snowmobilers presently.

ALMOST 100 PARKS Snowmobiling is permitted in all but i3 of Ontario's more than 100 provincial parks. In 15 of these, snowmobiling is restricted to designated and marked trails and in the remainder, machines are permitted on existing park roads or other specially des- ignated and marked areas. Moreover, three Ontario parks offer special facilities for winter campers. The three — Arrow- head, Sibbald Point and Pinery — have been set up to accommodate the winter devotee. Provided throughout the winter at the parks are snowplowed roads and campsites, heated washrooms with hot water, fuel wood, gar- bage disposal and drinking water. OvernighT campers in the 'parks are required to pay a fee while those entering for a day only are assessed a reduced charge.
