There
are over 70 parks in the city of Barrie, about a third of which can be referred
to as forested. In area, this amounts to about a quarter of the area, some of
which may be considered under risk of "development".
There
will be information about each forested park available at this site as the information
becomes available. This will include both the official plans and inventory as
well as members' observations and comments.
To
begin, I will include what I know about a couple of our parks, including Sunnidale
Park and Brown's Woods which I visit regularly. As suggested in newsletter #2,
I would like to prepare a guided tour of one or two parks,
which would be made available from this page.
Members
will be encouraged to visit parks nearest to them and share their growing knowledge
with the rest of us. That way we will have a growing database of observations
which we can, in turn, share with the City of Barrie.
