Comment
I want to support the expansion of Bass Lake Provincial Park as the wetland to be included is a sensitive area and locally significant. The area includes several species of orchids, other wetland plant, mosses, lichens and liverworts. At present, it is largely undisturbed.
To the proposal, I would suggest that the land between the two main areas also be included and funds be set aside to purchase these areas to create whole ecological area.
I also suggest that the Bass Lake Provincial Park be reclassified as a natural environment park as its current recreational status does not support inclusion of these areas. Parks Ontario, in cooperation with local agencies and community organizations, should undertake a biological inventory of this new area and develop a plan to protect it.
