Right here in our backyard.
A section of the shoreline of 15 Mile creek was completely stripped bare by a landowner last fall. All vegetation on the slope, shoreline and waterfront was stripped. No erosion controls were put in place and habitat was ripped out of the water. Reports have been filed with the NPCA, DFO and MNR.
This was a major spawning location for a number of lake run species like shiners, perch and big cats, and home to some of the rarer forms of wildlife found in the region. That spawning bed has been seriously damaged.
Hopefully, the powers that be, with a little public pressure, will set things right and correct the parties responsible.
