Ontario Trails News - with your support we are enabled to perform trail work all over Ontario. Thanks

Membership Update Message from Mr. Jack De Wit, OTC  President

Dear Members - We are making great headway with your support!

I understand that we received at least another 6 membership renewals since last week. Thank-you we appreciate your help. This helps keep the membership renewal momentum going.

Some of our returning members are Frontenac County, Clearview Township, Credit Valley Conservation, Georgian Bay Coast Trail, Township of Madawaska Valley and the Town of Halton Hills. Thank-you.

However, we have also secured some new memberships as well. We wish to thank Quinte Conservation,  LSRCA, LTVCA, FABR and the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve for their support of our youth work outreach. We appreciate your support!

Through your support we are able to have an office, apply for grants, etc., engage in National Funding efforts like the National Trails Coalition and the Canadian Trails Federation. We wish to thank our partners for enabling us to do trail work at the national levels. Quite an accomplishment for a provincial trails organization.

We also support trail planners, existing plans and previously negotiated trail development agreements.

I encourage you to read the next article a letter OTC sent to the Council of New Tecumseth Ontario.

Your financial support may not return directly to your community, but with it, by keeping the OTC viable, we are able to preserve or develop trails somewhere in Ontario.
 
Please e-mail Patrick if your cheque has been mailed, use paypal or call the office and they'll take a credit card number over the phone.

Once more, Sincerely, Jack De Wit, President.

Ontario Trails News - Develop, Manage, Use and Preserve Trails

NEW TRAIL NEARS COMPLETION - Kawartha Conservation
Volunteers and staff made excellent headway on a new, sustainable trail in the southern end of Durham East Cross Forest Conservation Area on June 24. We are planning to complete the 4 km trail later this year, which will be opened to low-impact uses such as hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. 
We'd like to thank all of the participants for their help, including the Durham Mountain Biking Association.

Credit Valley Conservation Authority will be hosting a Beech Bark Disease Workshop led by OMNR forest pathologists Richard Wilson and John McLaughlin. The workshop is designed for forest managers, tree markers and other specialists interested in learning how to identify and reduce the impacts of Beech Bark Disease. In addition to learning how to identify the disease the workshop aims. August 30, 2011 Contact: Kata Bavrlic, M.Sc. Terrestrial Monitoring Specialist kbavrlic@creditvalleyca.ca
