ney "A Family Tradition for 133 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 2, 1999 - 13 Group unveils plans for shoreline restoration project From page 1 get input. Some of the main fea- tures include a shoreline trail starting roughly at the tennis courts on the waterfront and running south behind the Independent Grocer food the organizing committee will seek financial help from Scugog Township, which now owns virtually all of the land over which the trail and boardwalk will be built. "Local contributions are needed to get more money from the upper levels of government," he said. "Some (financial) com- mitments have already been made. We are confi- dent that the money is out there and hopeful that we can raise it," he told The Port Perry Star after the meeting. - A further source of rev- enue will be a local fundraising drive of citi- zens and organizations in Scugog Township. | Although Scugog coun- cil has not yet made any commitment to provide funds, Rev. Beaton said he is "confident that in principle the council is behind us." Some of the work on the project could get under way this month, when stu- dents from Port Perry High School will be help- ing to create pickerel spawning beds by placing gravel on the ice. A major thrust of the project will be educational. Signs and panels will tell the public about the natu- ral environment and ecol- ogy of the shoreline, marsh-lands and the lake. It is expected that stu- dents will take advantage to study plant and animal life of the area. store, through the cat-tail marshlands on the lake side of the causeway and ending with a fishing and observation pier at the easterly set of culverts under Hwy. 7A. Included will be obser- vation platforms, a picnic area, demonstration gar- dens, and extensive plant- ing of vegetation that is native and natural to the shoreline, such as wild rice. Designated areas will be rehabilitated to provide spawning beds for three of Lake Scugog's best known game fish --picker- el, muskie and largemouth bass. Eco-tourism is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds all over Canada these days, and this pro- ject will be designed with that in mind, said Rev. Beaton.He said there will be a couple of access points § - to the trail: one from Water Shi ; Ga St.at the picnic shelter. . a And the other from Hwy. TA just east of the Independent store parking lot. During the summer season, the trail and boardwalk could attract 500 visitors each week, he said. And the pier construct- ed at the easterly culverts should help solve the prob- lem of anglers fishing along the busy Hwy. TA causeway.
