Recommendations for the new Management Plan for the Northumberland County Forest will be presented at this meeting of the Northumberland County Council.

Area residents are concerned that the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan may be ignored by Council in the new Management Plan.

Under the provisions of the Oak Ridges Moraine Act and Conservation Plan, low intensity uses only are permitted in Natural Core Areas of the moraine (the designation of the entire Northumberland County Forest).

We need a large contingent of concerned citizens to encourage Council to prohibit motorized recreational vehicles in the Northumberland County Forest, and to ensure that Council is not swayed by lobbyists for the ATV/dirt bike clubs.
