The Environmental Registry of Ontario posted a decision on hunting within the Boyne Valley Provincial Park, and the addition of several surrounding properties, this week.
We are happy to report that hunting will not be allowed within the previously existing park areas and will only be allowed within the properties that have been added to the park. All of these properties allowed hunting previously, so effectively, there is no change that will impact our hiking and nature trails.
We would like to thank everyone who submitted comments in regards to this proposal. It could not have been done without you.
We would also like to thank the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ontario Parks, and the Ontario Government for their governance and wisdom in revising this proposal/decision in such a way as to allow people to safely enjoy the wonderful natural areas in which the Boyne Valley resides. Additionally, the expansion of the park with new properties is a great act of conservation and protection, to which we applaud all involved.
