Seaton Lands

and

Agricultural Greenspace

What is this?

 

May, 2002

Here are some pictures of the Seaton Lands and the West Duffins Creek, located in north Pickering, Ontario.  This forest may soon be seriously affected to make way for the construction of new homes.  These lands include hiking trails which stretch for some 17 km., starting at Lake Ontario to north of Hwy. 7.  There is an annual trout run up the West Duffins Creek.  This forest is alive with wildlife and should be preserved, not destroyed.
To help with the cause of preservation, you can send e-mail to the politicians listed at the bottom of this page and make your opinions heard.  See also the links to other web sites below, for more information, other opinions and related issues.
