Sturgeon River Provincial Park’s future is secure

Press Release—Sturgeon River Provincial Park’s future is secure

The Friends of Temagami are pleased with an agreement that protects the

Sturgeon River Provincial Park while allowing forestry operations to continue in

the Sudbury Forest.

Early in 2009, a new bridge was proposed for the last roadless stretch of the

Sturgeon River. Large clearcuts were also planned adjacent to the Park.

Working with Vermillion Forest Management, the Ministry of Natural Resources,

and Northwatch, Friends of Temagami was able to ensure that no new bridge

would cross the Sturgeon River. We were also able to significantly reduce

clearcutting adjacent to the park. These compromises were made solely through

discussion and dialogue, not confrontation and protest.

Friends of Temagami President Alex Broadbent said, “We are encouraged by this

outcome. The time and effort expended by both sides to reach this agreement

signals a new relationship between the forest industry and environmentalists in

Northeastern Ontario.”

The Sturgeon River Provincial Park protects 33.5 km2 of the Sturgeon River

watershed, 60 km northeast of Sudbury. Historically, the river was a travel route

for First Nations and loggers. Today, the waterway park is popular with

whitewater canoe trippers and hikers. The park features many waterfalls,

campsites, and scenic lookouts. It is the main inflow to Lake Nipissing.

Friends of Temagami is a Northern Ontario-based, all-volunteer environmental

organization. Our aim is to conserve wilderness and promote quiet recreation

across the greater Temagami region.

Temagami Crown Land Backcountry Maintenance Partnership
Friday, 18 June 2010 18:40

FOT is a proud member of the Temagami Crown Land Backcountry Maintenance Partnership. We are pleased to announce that, in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ontario Parks, FOT will organize volunteer canoe route maintenance crews this summer. Crews will work across the MNR's Temagami District. If you are interested in doing portage clearing and campsite cleaning on your next trip, we want to hear from you! The Partnership will provide you with liability and accident insurance, any necessary permits, guidelines for maintenance work, and suggestions for routes to work on (if desired). In exchange, we ask for your labour and a report on your activities. You may choose to do as much or as little as you wish. Some groups may want to do just a little cleanup as they travel a well-used route, while others may want to do more involved work on a less-travelled route.

 

On behalf of the Partnership, FOT is accepting expressions of interest from any and all interested parties. We are just getting things up and running, so please be patient. We hope the first volunteers will be out in early July.

 

Please note that this work is a voluntary addition to your independent canoe trip. You will be responsible for planning all aspects of your trip, including route, food and equipment. There are no financial, training, certification, or other benefits offered. For insurance purposes, all trip participants must be members of the Friends of Temagami. Membership starts at $25/person/year. See here for membership details http://www.friendsoftemagami.org/index.php/membership
