Letter - Cawthra Woodlot

This letter was addressed to Mayor Hazel McCallion. A copy as filed with The Mississauga News for publication.

Your Worship:

When I first heard about the rehabilitation program of the Cawthra Woodlands, I assumed that cleaning out the woodlot would be just that, namely removal, of a few fallen and dead trees. However, what is being done to the woods is mutilation, not preservation.

My family and I have lived in this neighbourhood for the last 28 years and have enjoyed the Cawthra Bush ever since we moved here.

Over the years I have met a lot of people, walking through the bush and virtually everybody familiar with this area shares my passion for this piece of nature in the middle of the city.

One of the reasons for this program given by city officials was the apparent deterioration of the woodlot.

Let me tell you, I have roamed the Cawthra Estate for the last 28 years and I have not seen any deterioration' What is happening in there is Mother Nature at work. Old growth dies and new growth takes over.

What ever new growth is there looks very healthy to me. Mother Nature did not need any help for hundreds of years -why now?

Further more I would like to know, why it is when city or other government officials say one thing, quite often they really mean something else entirely, (e.g. Preservation meaning Logging operation).

Also, the speed with which this project was pushed ahead leaves me wondering what's really going on?

Another thought occurred to me. The economy is bad and everybody is trying to save, including the City of Mississauga - or so you tell us. Why the expenditure of this totally unnecessary project?
