Douglas Markoff, President and Gail Krantzberg, Founding Member, introduced
Council to Douglas Botanical Park and Nature Centre (DBC). Mr. Markoff
indicated that the mandate of the DBC is to enrich the cultural and natural
heritage features in an area in Ontario while promoting botanical beauty, public
education and an environmentally healthy lifestyle. He stated that they will
demonstrate environmentally responsible methods of landscaping, horticulture and
forestry to individuals, organizations, public schools, colleges and universities and
have selected a site in Orono, Ontario on which to pursue this project. The land
chosen is the former tree nursery of the Ministry of Natural Resources which has
been declared surplus. He indicated that the Province will be putting 300 acres of
the property up for public tender this fall and he is negotiating to acquire 150
acres with the Municipality of Clarington and other local interest groups. He
requested the municipality's written support of the project and future discussions
with the municipality to explore land acquisition and partnership opportunities.

respect to the Ecology Garden which the Durham Chapter of the Canadian
Organic Growers have undertaken at the Bowmanville High School. Ms. Stroud
