Wildlife management
Cooperative projects involving fisheries'
'and: d wildlife are becoming more conirnon
every day for two main reasons. First, they
work and second, it gives everyoneinvolved
a fair..shake. There is really no excuse now
forsonneone to sit back and badmouth a pro -
Pet because if they really care, the oppor-
tlnity is•here for them to get involved and
do something about it, - -
Qn :,June 19, the 48th Federal Provincial
• Wildlife Conference was held in Timmins,
and the whole thrust of the project involved
co-operative programs. It recognized that
wildlife management programs are a two
way street and the more involved everyone
gets, the better the results.. Allan Pope,
Minister of Natural Resources, dwelt on this
subject during his speech, and listed many
of the projects which have come into being
or are in the works because of this program.
The following paragraphs, are a summary of
those programs and a few of Mr. Pope's
comments regarding their success.
The major forest industries are now shar-
ing the job of protecting wildlife habitat.
Through our system of Forest Management
Agreements, companies are required to
submit plans that include consideration of
other resources - such as wildlife habitat.
Areas where commercial forest practices
are altered to protect these resources are
called Modified Management Areas.
In these special areas, cutting is done in
such a way that significant resource values
are protected. These include the shorelines
oflakes and rivers, as well as wildlife areas,
such as moose licks, moose calving areas,
significant deer yards and even bald eagle
nests.
We'vo introduced new measures in On-
tario to control moose hunting - a selective
harvest system. But we couldn't have come
up with that programa or made it work
without the co-operation of the thousands of
people that were affected.
We've also been working closely with the
`Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters,
the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters, lan-
downers, lumber companies, individual
hunters and others in implementing a deer
management program. One key aspect that
needed hunter's support and co-operation is
the selective harvest system for deer that
began in • 1980 and has provided positive
results.
. We are now working on a new manage-
ment program for black bear and hope to rn=
troduce it this fall, once we have completed
our consultation with the major organiza-
tions and public who have an interest.
We hove even entered into partnerships
with resource user groups to disseminate in-
formation. A 304 -page hunter's guide in
French and English will soon be available,
thanks to a joint effort with the Ontario
Federation of Anglers and Hunters. The
guide which has been rewritten with the per-
mission of the Alberta Wildlife Division and
the National Rifle Association of America
will include everything from information
about hunter ethics to survival in the bush.
The Ontario Federation of Anglers and
Hunters is printing and marketing the
manuals in Ontario and the proceeds realiz-
ed after all costs are paidwill go into hunter
education to enhance training across 'the.
province.
As with other provinces, we are receiving
assistance from the World Wildlife Fund for
status .reports on some key threatened
species. The organization -is also helping us
re-establish trumpeter swans on Lake On-
tario where ' mute swans have deeloped a
feral flock.
• We also continue to receive assistance in
our peregrine falcon reintroduction pro-
gram. Last summer, Upper Canada College
im Toronto offered, facilties and staff time .
for a reintroduction project. This year, an
insurance company in downtown Toronto is
offering the same assistance.
Individual naturalists and'members of the
Federation of Ontario Naturalists are also
helping with sighting reports and
surveillance.
This spring, the ministry entered a host of
partnerships to reintroduce wild turkey

flocivs in southern Ontario. A private foun-
dation was established. The QFAH and the
Federation of Ontario Naturalists are in-
volved, and the turkeys were obtained
through agreements with Michigan and
Missouri. Michigan will receive Ontario
moose from areas that are not hunted and
will transport the moose at their expense.
The birds are being monitored by
naturalists, hunters and in the Bay of Quante
areas on Lake Ontario, a special wild turkey
organization. The ministry has sponsored
arrangements for acquiring and releasing
the birds, and has provided radio collars
and receivers for monitoring their progress.
A prune example of good co-operation is
the Fur Institute of Canada. It was formed
because governments — especially Ontario —
wanted to share the concern, the cost and
the responsibility for} umane trap research, •
maintenance of markets and public educa-
tion programs. -
They wanted to share these things with
trappers, native people, wholesalers,
manufacturers and retailers of fur pro-
ducts, and humane groups and conservation
organizations interested in wildlife manage-
ment.
The list of co-operative ventures is much
longer and includes many old friends. Ducks
Unlimited is spending $15 -million over five
years to create waterfowl habitat across On-
tario in a partnership with the ministry. And
our oldest partners may be the corps of
hunter safety instructors - scores of
dedicated individuals across the province
who have been training more than 30,000
new hunters per year in an effort to prevent
accidents.
Another co-operative venture is the
Canada -Ontario Resource Development
Agreement. Since 1949, Canada and Ontario
have assisted the Indian people in utilizing —
for their economic benefit - their renewable
resources they have access to.
Each year, both governments spend a
total of $500;000 assisting Ontario native peo-
ple in such activities as fur trapping, sport
fishing, commercial fishing, deer and
moose hide collections, wild rice, tourism
and forestry.
That's a quick list of shared ventures in
wildlife management in Ontario. It sounds
good, but you know as well as •I do, there's
more to sharing than that.
Some shared ventures are easy: Others
raise questions that strike deep into an
'organization's philosophy, perhaps go
against the grain a bit, or are out of synch
with the organization's objectives. Projects
where a. participant's principles could be
compromised require negotiation, patience,
understanding and adjustment on
everyone's part.
They also require participants to make —
in some cases — a giant lean of faith. But I
think those leaps areworth taking. .. •
Through consultation, co-operation and
careful compromise, it's often possible for
partners in a venture toachievemore than
they ever thought possible — and at no cost
to their principles or image.
In fact, they -stand to gain a lot. The credit
goes to those who co-operate and take con-
structive action. The general public and the
news media applaud those efforts. They do
not applaud inaction caused by unnecessary
nit-picking or confrontation.
Those who have the final responsibility for
wildlife management cannot do the job
alone, and cannot afford to turn down the
help of thousands of enthusiastic resource
users who want to contribute. .

clinic improves racing skills
VA ,NA - Last week, Hully Gully
Motocross Instructor Chuck Collins began
phase one of a four-week program designed
to, improve the racing habits of amateur
motocross drivers.
"They are advancing well. I let them ask
me questions as to what they need to Imow,"
Chuck said after this year's first training
camp. -
Four riders registered for last week's
course, which consisted of in-depth, one-on-
one sessions involving every facet of
motocross racing.
Each day for the racers begins at 8 a.m.
with breakfast, exercises and lessons. After
lunch, more lessons were held, then, a 20 -
minute moto was video-taped by ' the
instructors for analysis after supper.
"A. lot of them had bad racing habits, such
as sitting down too much and not using their
front brakes enough," Chuck explahwl
Chuck said the riders are shown a variety
of films ranging from proper maintenance
of your bike to proper racing styles.
Individual instruction topics Include
cornering and how to get a good start.
Don Chartarnd and David Medland made
the journey to the Hully Gully Motocross
School from New Liskeard, Ont. Although
David suffered a cracked thumb at the.
clinics both racers felt the trip was
worthwhile.
"It was good, really good. The course was
tricky but we learned a lot," Don said.
Warren Fraser from Whitby and Jim
Dickenson of Courtland also attended the
clinic.
More week-long motocross clinics are
planned for July and into August. Contact
Hully Gully at 262-3318' for more
information.
