April 1, 1 1 T• ary plan si. ro 1 environment t 1E0 argexet Arbuckle 10.001 lot management drainage and erosion Qontr41 were subjects which gener- ated a great deal of dis- cussion at .the fifth seeon- dary plan seminar Monday evening at the East Wawanosh Public School. The topic of discussion for the workshop was natural environment. Clerk - treasurer Winona Thompson acted as chairman., Gary Davidson, Cindy Fisher and Malciolm McIn- tosh of the county planning department were on hand, as 4•were Bryan Howard of the Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority and Warren Knight of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Mrs. Thompson posed several questions to the gathering of approximately 80 people. The first question was: What value do you plat on the natural beauty of the township? Should cer- tain areas be preservedfor conservation of the natural environment? Alice Beecroft asked how the township enforces the tree -cutting bylaw. She stated that the bylaw has been passed, but trees are still being cut. Mrs. Thompson answered that tree -cutting is con- trolled by the county. -Mr. Knight said that an exemp- tion or special permission can be granted to cut certain areas. It depends . upon the size of the area and the kind of trees growing there, for instance willows or poplars as opposed to hardwood trees. Miss Beecroft said she knows of two locations in the township where the trees cut had not been willows or pop- lars -and no steps have been taken to replant these areas. Yvonne Coultes asked if there was a penalty imposed upon those who disregard the tree:cuttinir bylaw: e Mr. Knight answered that the penalty is a maximum fine of $5,000 or a three . . month imprisonment. Mr. Davidson reiterated that under the old bylaw very small fines were levied to offenders. The new bylaw is much more insistent the trees be replanted. Mr. Howard added that the tree -cutting bylaw stemmed from a provincial. act. It has been. left up to the counties how to enforce it: some en- force it rigidly while others ignore it totally. Mr. Davidson said that if properly managed wood lots should show a high yield of lumber and maple syrup. Mr. Knight estimated an annual net of $40 per acre on existing wood lots which is comparable with barley. He said that the decision to clear a wood lot should, be weighed carefully. John Gaunt stated that a freeze on clearing wood lots should be imposed now. EROSION CONTROL The second question asked: What value do .you place on erosion control? Should the remaining wood lots in the township be pre- servedto prevent wind and water erosion of farm land? Clint Wilson stated that there is no erosion problem in East Wawanosh to worry about. Wayne Caldwell dis- agreed, he had worked on the Avon River near Stratford where there is considerable erosion. He found that area to be very similar to East Wawanosh. Roy Pattison confirmed that there was some water erosion occurring on his own farm. After a hard rain gullies form in the fields, which must be filled in. Ralph Campbell asked if clearing fence -bottoms con- tributed to erosion and if so should it be halted? Mr. Davidson answered that fence -bottoms have a certain erosion control value and without them soils are very susceptible to wind ero- sion. After a brief intermission the third question was posed: Should drainage 'of existing wetland areas which are not presently used for agriculture be permitted? Mr. Pattison stated that there are still some wetlands in the township that need draining and some areas whi'c1fE' 'ha$m been drained that should not have been. Mr. Knight said that tile drains are much better than open drains for controlling erosion. Mr. Howard said that if a drain is designed properly and maintained it should last many years with- out being cleaned. The popu- lar drainage ditch with its steep sides was pointed to as a major cause of erosion. Dick Moore asked if rep- resentatives from the con- servation authority and the. Ministry of ligature! Re- sources would be attending the special council meeting on Wednesday to discuss the Thacker ditch proposal. Mr. Knight and Mr. Howard replied yes. The fourth question posed was: What would you con- sider to be the major natural environment areas in East Wawanosh and what value do you place on the pre- servation of these areas? Mr. Campbell stated that the Maitland River is the major natural environment area in the township, but there should be more , trees planted along the river. Mr. Davidson said the dan- ger with clearing land right to the river's edge is that pollutants from fertilizer and soil nutrients are lost into the river. This causes the tem- perature of the river to rise and sport fish cannot survive in temperatures above 70 de- grees F. Everyone was in agree- ment that the natural.en- vironment areas must be preserved and enhanced. Mr. Gaunt said large num- bers of people must be kept away from. natural environ- ment areas because they threaten the delicate balance of life. Mr. Davidson said that for many years it was assumed that natural en- vironment and recreation .nixed, but, now it is believed if the natural areas are to be preserved people must be MRS. LEWIS STONEHOUSE 40 1 1 kept away. Mr. Howard commented that it is.no longer viable for government to buy up large tracts Of land to be design- ated as conservation areas. He said that conservation must be started on private land in .cooperation with pri- vate landowners. • Mr. Gaunt stated there is no greater conservationalist than the private landowner. The next secondary land use plan seminar is to be held on April 6 at 8 p.m. at the East, Wawanosh Public School. The topic to be dis- cussed is extractive re- sources, with references to the recent Pits and Quarries Act. Councillor Donald "Schultz will act as chairman.
