Last chance to comment on Scugog watershed plans  

 

Available for final review and comment until  

Nov. 11 

 

If you live, own property or do business within any of the four watersheds draining from the Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Scugog (see a map), you may be interested in reviewing and commenting on draft plans completed by Kawartha Conservation for these watersheds. 

 

Click here to review and comment on the plans. Comments can be received until Nov. 11, 2011.

 

The plans, developed in partnership with Durham Region as part of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, identify watershed conditions, environmental stresses and threats, and give watershed-wide direction for protecting and sustaining watershed features. They will provide a current information resource for municipalities, consultants, developers, landowners and resource users.

Find out more about the issues impacting your lake, how lake management planning may address these issues, and where we are in the process of developing lake management plans for Balsam, Cameron and Sturgeon lakes. There will also be presentations by special guests on fish, water levels and blue-green algae.

 

These events are also an opportunity to share your experiences on the lake and provide input to the lake planning initiative.
