"The Museum Board Meeting scheduled for last night (Wednesday March 24th, 2010) was unable to go forward due to a lack of quorum. This means further delay in dealing with the proposed new Forest Conservation Bylaw. In the meantime, the County Forester requires direction on the enforcement of the County’s existing Bylaw.
At the direction of the Warden and the Chair of the Museum Board we wish to advise that effective immediately, the existing County of Dufferin Bylaw 2006-15 will be enforced to its fullest extent and will apply to all cutting. Applications for minor exemptions under this bylaw will be considered based on the entire area of the woodlands, regardless of property lines.
The County Forester has been directed accordingly.
Linda J. Dean, MPA
Chief Administrative Officer"
Congratulations to everyone who has long fought this battle against clear cutting Melancthon forests.
I would suggest that if you see ANY cutting in Melancthon/Mulmur or anywhere in Dufferin, in view of this recent edict from on high, that you email the County Forrester ASAP at forestmanager@dufferinmuseum.com My understanding is they no longer accept verbal complaints, they must be in writing.
