I am writing to you on behalf of the citizens of Courtice and the Courtice
and Area Community Association, of which I am Vice President and Director of
Passive Parks.
There is a piece of property that the Town of Newcastle owns and at which time
is vacant due to the fact that it is a flood plane area and greenbelt. This
property is located from south of Nash Road to Highway #2, immediately west
of the homes on Windsor Valley Place. It is an ideal site for a Nature
Walkway and viewing area for different species of wildlife.
Last spring, Mr. Dave Dunnegin a co- ordinator at Darlington Provincial Park
inspected the site and was very impressed with it; and my plans.
What I propose is a pathway with bird feeding stations. There will be steps
leading into the valley from- Windsor.Valley Place to the creek. There will be
one small bridge and at the end of the trail a viewing platform with benches.
'Along the pathway there will be several benches located in strategic places
for viewing.
if
There are grants available.'to various groups to develop such lands through the
Community Wildlife Involvement Program (CWIP) which is part of the Ministry of I
Natural Resources. I have contacted Mr. Scott Jones in Lindsay who is the
area representative for the CWIP. He sent me some forms and an application
for the grant which I have enclosed,
it
I have volunteers ready to work at the site, from the community. The Courtice
and Area Community Association will maintain this Nature Trail over the years,
if given approval from the Ministry of Natrual Resources, for the Grant.
Members of Council, I ask for your necessary.approval to proceed with the I i,
plans I have stated, which the citizens of Courtice will benefit., '
Yours truly,
Keith Richardson
