Hanson‘s Floweis 20, The Record Although such areas are among the most productive landscapes and very important wild life breeding areas, our swamps in southern Ontario have suffered greater destruction and abuse than any other area I can think of at this time. Way we were Formerly, southern Ontario had about 5.7 million acres of wetlands. Prince Edward County, for instance, has cleared only about 3.6 percent of its wetland, whereas Lincoln County is proud of its 100 percent clearance rate. The estimate is that today we have less than three million acres of wetland in Southern Ontario. These people are determined that they alone will change the world. Then there are those who have seen the real danger to our vanishing wildlife, the endangered HABITAT. Wetlands Wetlands in our area, such as swamps and marshes, are en- dangered. For too long we have considered swamps, marshes, and other wetlands land which has to be drained. filled, polluted, or built upon. Wetlands are very important water-holding areas, important not only to the naturalist, but also to the surrounding farmers. Wetlands are important as breeding grounds for waterfowl and other marsh birds, as well as spawning,areas for many fish species; as an educational and recreational outlet for many people, a marsh is unique and cannot be It is almost impossible to name all the organizations dedicated to saving our wildlife. Some of these people are experts in their field and contribute a lot to nature, but others are self-appointed experts who perhaps have never left their living room. have never seen a wolf or moose in the wild, and have never talked to a hunter.

Lush vegetation The lush vegetation teems with wildlife found only in jungles and rainforests. Many plant species depend on such areas for their existence. Some orchids are found only in wetlands, and a few are so rare that they are being considered for possible inclusion in the ‘en- dangered species’ list. Destroy Why are we destroying our wetlands then? Many of us look upon such areas as breeding grounds for mosquitoes without considering the endless list of all other harmless species depending on the same environment. To some people with only a passing experience of the outdoors. marshes and swamps are so wild and menacing that they would refuse to enter them. Good organizations There are, as I mentioned. some good organizations in our area who are working hard to keep those areas from becoming another suburb. I urge all of my readers, dedicated to the great outdoors to support these groups. If you cannot find a contact, feel free to write me and I will pass your name along to the list of people who really care. There is only one way to ex- perience the richness and im- portance of our wetlands â€" you must walk in one. No reading. slides or movies can give you the true feeling or bring the real message across that it is almost too late. We must act now. When you walk in a wetland area. remember that you are walking in an endangered area. 4 my goals o trOIIbIOZC-L'rl I OUTDOORS WITH / Next week Alex Eberspaecher
