Every wetland and bog that is no longer (after bill 23) considered provincially significant on it's own holds multitudes of endangered and at risk species.
In fact, bogs and wetlands are overwintering grounds for protected reptiles such as the snapping turtle. They dig holes and stay underground until spring. Any work done in that habitat in winter will be killing those turtles. Work done in spring would disrupt nesting of all species.
The hatchet job done on Duffins creek recently most certainly destroyed turtles and salamanders, multiply this by the hundreds and you have only one of the disasterous outcomes of bill 23.
