Martin addressing a meeting of the Natural Resources Advisory Board of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority outlined the co m i n u ed i inport an ce of implementation of conservation measures» In his address he briefly discussed the natural succession of a forest community in southern Ontario and * reviewed the history of land use in th*e Ganaraska area which lead to the formation of the County Forests in the early 1940s. He pointed to the establishment of the forests in the Ganaraska to stabilize erosion process in the blowsands of the area. Dr. Martin expressed some concerns concerns with modern day farm operations operations which in many cases has seen the elimination of fence rows to accommodate accommodate a .more s economical operation. He said such removal has exposed open fields to wind erosion erosion and as well destroyed valuable wildlife habitat. He gained the interest of his audience audience with a- display of photographs of lands experiencing erosion from wind and rain in Hamilton, Cavan* and Hope townships. He then provided more severe problems of erosion currently currently being experienced in southwestern southwestern Ontario and in the Midwestern Midwestern United States.

Ministry of Agriculture and F.ood in the, delivery of soil conservation programs programs with the authorities often acting acting as contractors for the actual projects. He also pointed out that some new forms of farm machinery had been developed to minimize erosion but that in fact the larger manufactures manufactures of farm'machinery had shied away from development of such machinery.

He said nevertheless that the proponents proponents were proceeding with a presentation to the Environmental Assessment Review Panel which included included a site from Tyrone and Wesleyville did concern him deeply. Lawrence said he still held a firm view that no such facility should be constructed in this area or in any area close to Lake Ontario, or with a growing population density or on agricultural lands.
