Greenbelt ctd. 
     
    
   
   
    
     are the East and West River Sheet Harbour systems which include 
     
    

    
     a considerable portion of the Liscombe Game Sanctury. This designation 
     
     will restrict cutting within 100 feet of the river to roadways and 
     
     brow sites. Cutting under the supervision of a forester will be 
     
     allowed in this zone with the permission of the Forest Practices 
     
     Improvement Board. 
     
    
   
   
    
     BLOOMING POINT: 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Trust received reports from local residents of four wheel 
     
     drive vehicles being driven on the dunes in early summer. Upon 
     
     investigation fresh vehicle tracks were found, particularily in 
     
     the area to the west of the road through the dunes. Only the 
     
     passage of time will determine whether any of the marem (dune) 
     
     grass in the single and multiple pass tracks has been killed 
     
     but the tracks are still visible 3 months after they were made. 
     
    

    
     In response to this damage from incompatible use two signs 
     
     were erected by the Trust on the properties leased at Deroche Pond 
     
     to encourage the parking of vehicles either in the abandoned field 
     
     or on the road itself rather than on the dunes. Unfortunately, 
     
     the signs were stolen within several weeks of their erection. 
     
    
   
   
    
     NCC AND FON REPRESENTATIVES VISIT: 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. Lloyd Mayeda, General Manager of the Nature Conservancy 
     
     of Canada and Dr. Stewart Hilts, Chairman of the Federation of 
     
     Ontario Naturalists Natural Areas Committee accompanied Daryl 
     
     Guignion and I on a tour of the Canavoy Oaks and Blooming Point 
     
     (Deroche Point) Candidate Natural Areas. Subsequent to these visits 
     
     Lloyd was given a tour of the Greenwich Sand Dune Candidate Natural 
     
     Area. It was during the latter tour that we became aware of a 
     
     greatly increased usage of the site, damage to the back dunes along 
     
     the south side of the spit, and damage to the central sand dune 
     
     area to the west of the wandering dunes. The damage is the result 
     
     of repeated vehicle traffic through the meram grass areas. 
     
    

    
     We hope that the extent of the damage will be ascertained in 
     
     the next few weeks so that corrective action, if possible, can be 
     
     taken.

     . Attractive to all age groups 
     
    

    
     . Simple and easily reproduced
