Editorial Opinion: Natural Heritage System
Are you aware of this new threat from Halton Region?
Could you become an unwelcome tenant on your own property?
Rural property in Halton is already regulated by the Municipalities, the Region, Conservation Halton, the Niagara Escarpment Commission, the Ministry of Natural Resources, etc.
There is current legislation to protect Greenlands, Wetlands, Woodlots, Species at Risk, and Well Capture Zones – all on private property.
As part of Sustainable Halton, Halton Region now proposes to connect all these sensitive areas in a single Natural Heritage System that includes virtually ALL rural lands in Halton. The biggest impact will be across Nassagaweya and rural Milton generally.
Sensitive areas are already well-protected. This is about control. Environmental groups are in favour and some are already encouraging the Region to write tougher restrictions for the proposed Natural Heritage System.
Milton Ward 3 Councillor Jan Mowbray (www.janmowbray.ca) and the Halton Federation of Agriculture have organized a public meeting so that rural people can become better informed on this important rural issue.
The Federation of Agriculture will chair the meeting. Senior staff from Milton and the Region will be there. We hope you will be there too.
