Omno Weeldy Tlmes, Wednesday, June 18, 1S~7 -7 Wilmot Creek nature, reserve site tour A site tour of the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve which includes some 200 acres of land from the mouth of the Wilmot Creek, Lake Ontario," north to the railway limes was a morning activity for mem- bers of a committee along with representatives from, Ontario- Hydro, Durham Reglon, Clarington staff and consultants. The lands lies between Toronto Street and Cobbledick Street. An extensive 'workshop session' was held ii the after- noon exploring ideas for the future development of the reserve. The lands malng up the Nature Reserve have been assembled by the Municipal- ity of Clarington through pur- chase and through agree- ments. The sensitivity of a num- ber of specific areas, were noted and there was a gener- ai feeling that a high volume of use of these areas would be environmentally destruc- tive. It was also noted that the municipality would not be able to pour a lot of money in C&jUM : Seîvces and Repairs To Ail MakeS 0f, VhCles Used Auto Parts s Complete Auto Body Servce , Used and New Tires Servce Cals Orono Tewn Hall Euchre Resuits High, - 1) Arvilla Partridge 88, 2) Ray Staples 87, 3) Marion Sears 78, 4) Wanda McNeil 77, 5) Bernice Partner 75,'6) Esther Allin 75.

Thank you every- one. the site and that there was a need for interested parties to play a part in the protective development process. Along this Uine it was stat- ed on a number of occasions that few are aware of the Wilmot Greek Nature Reserve with a resulting community disinterest at this particular Urne. The Crombie Trail does pass through a portion of the uplands of the Reserve. A furher meeting is to be held in July when the con- sultants are to provide fur- ther direction based on points of vlew expressed at the work- shop.
