Peer er Pe ee es OUTDOORS By Bill Owens Times Outdoor Writer wi sade Mere ok : coe aa a Ke bag yarercrrror meer eamectorere cre Ss soeapeseeres tts: highly irregular administrative procedures, the majority of the City of Oshawa Council voted to give the Second Marsh to the Harbour Commission for harbour expansion. Despite the persistent proddings of -Alderman Margaret Shaw, and a Motion of Referral, which was car- ried, by Alderman Christine Thomas, the city adminis- trators spelled the doom of one of the. province's best duck breeding areas. Their argument that this area is needed for harbour facilities for the future is not very valid when one considers the mediocre increase in harbour traffic over the past fifteen years. Furthermore, how a piece of marshland nearly a half a mile away from the . can be utilized without considerable' present harbour money and engineering prowess can hardly be imagined, but when the geographical and territorial location of the marsh is considered, then the motive for council's action can be more readily understood. However, it is not the intent of this column to get embroiled in municipal politics, but rather to focus the attention of the Oshawa and Dis- trict waterfowl hunters on the impact this manoeuvre will have on their shooting. But before this is done, it is neces- sary to bring the history of the marsh to mind. BACK IN THE early nineteen fifties, the marsh and some adjacent properties were expropriated by the city from private ownership. This was done at considerable expense to the taxpayer. In any event, when the city ac- quired this area, Wesley Powers, who was serving as an alderman, with great foresight and imagination, proposed the formation of a fish and wildlife advisory committee to the council whose 'main function would be to advise the the city as to the best use of this marshland for the people of Oshawa. The committee was formed from representa- tives of various fish and game clubs, naturalist groups and other outdoor - minded people, and was recognized and accepted as such by city council. It has been function- ing in a more or less effective manner to the present time. SOME OF this committee's more ardent members have advocated that recommendations be made to the city to exploit this area by providing nature trails, setting up bird swatching blinds and stations, providing school children with nature 'lessons and other desirable features appropriate to the area. This did not materialize because the committee lacked public spirited leadership. There were those present who thought sincerely that any contact with people would ruin the area from a naturally controlled sanctuary. However, had the people of Oshawa and district had the opportunity to see the huge flocks of ducks which came here to breed every Spring, the myriad of song birds, pheasants, wood- cock and other birds and animals which have propagated there since the area was closed to shooting, then these same people would have had a greater claim to keeping it in its natural state, rather than letting the evil hand of intangible progress grab off a choice piece of land with its great natural resource. For once it is gone, it cannot be replaced. ALL IS NOT lost however, for there is a glimmer of hope in the future. First of all, the Oshawa and district Conservation clubs, fish and game clubs as well as the naturalist groups should all send their protests to the City council pointing out the reasons for keeping this area in- tact and for the benefit of future generations. The Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee of Oshawa should make every effort to convince council that there are great rec- reational and esthetic aspects to be retained in the marsh. Failing this, all these groups should then recogniz his all waterfaw! hunters =o haye-a stake tn tho @ tase am tae usur our ducks and geese. With the issuance of a waterfowi shooting permit the federal government has stated that monies received from the sale of these permits shall go to research and wetlands acquisition. It is thus a simple matter to bring this area to the attention of the Honorable Arthur Laing, Minister of Northern Affairs and Natural Resources, and have his wildlife service assess the breed- ing potential of this area as opposed to the speculative need of harbour facilities. With waterfowl breeding areas disappearing from the scene at an alarming rate, there is every hope to believe that the federal people will give this matter their utmost attention. The challenge lies in the hands of the conservation Minded people of the city and in their ability to cope with this problem successfully.
