Wolf Lake To Remain Forest Reserve

Ontario is protecting the environment and giving clarity to developers by ensuring the Wolf Lake Old Growth Forest in the Timiskaming District remains a protected area.Retaining Wolf Lake's Forest Reserve status prohibits the commercial harvesting of old growth red pine while still allowing for exploration and development of existing mining claims and leases.
An Environmental Registry posting was made in June 2011 to consult on the future use of the Wolf Lake Forest Reserve. The decision to maintain Forest Reserve status is based on the feedback received through the posting.
Pursuing a balanced approach to development is part of the McGuinty government's plan to protect the environment and support sustainable jobs for Ontario families for generations to come.
