This program has 42 Stewardship Councils, volunteers groups of representative landowners and land interest groups who determine the environmental priorities for a given area, usually a county, in Ontario. The Prescott-Russell Stewardship Council has projects and operational funding which act as the catalyst to ensure that good ideas can be translated into projects. Some of the projects implemented by the Prescott-Russell Stewardship Council are: the re-introduction of wild turkeys in Prescott-Russell; seminars for woodlot owners; greening programs; the French Envirothon; the Water Well Identification Program; and the Alfred Birding Trail, among others. The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club was founded in 1879. The club promotes appreciation, preservation and conservation of Canada’s natural heritage. The OFNC produces two quarterly publications: the peer- reviewed journal, The Canadian Field-Naturalist, reporting research in Canadian natural history, and Trail and Landscape, providing articles on natural history of the Ottawa Valley.

  • Background Information Cornwall District Land Use Strategy
    PREFACE The Ministry of Natural Resources has three broad programs: outdoor recreation, resource products and land management. l The achievement of the objectives of these programs requires the use of large areas of land and water. The Ministry normally achieves a large part of its 2 objectives through the use of Crown lands. In Ontario, the Ministry of Natural Resources is the official custodian and manager of Crown land which covers some 87 percent of the Province. In the Cornwall District however, less than 2 percent of the land base is Crown; an additional 2 percent is directly managed by the Ministry. The Ministry must therefore achieve a significant portion of its objectives by encouraging appropriate uses of private land. As a result of the foregoing conditions, the potential for land use conflicts and inefficiencies is very high in'the Cornwall District. The need for land use planning to avoid these problems is urgently required. An overall planning approach has been established to co- ordinate all the land using programs of the Ministry. This concept finds expression in a strategic land use plan, which is a document stating in general terms how the Ministry of Natural Resources wishes to use or inFluence the use of land and water in Ontario. The strategic land use plan will be prepared at two levels --- for the province as a whole and for each of three regional areas, northwestern, northeastern and southern Ontario. 1 I Ontario, Ministry of Natural Resources, A Guide to Organization and Management System, Ministry of Natural Resources, 1972. 2~heneverthe term Crown I1landlt is used it refers to lands both above and below water.
