Hydro Dam Project

[Sustainable Trent]

Hello everyone,

This is regarding the proposed hydro dam project along the river. It would seriously affect a large area of old growth forest, so please check out the links below if you are interested. There will be an informative hike this Sunday at 2:30pm-4pm. We're meeting at the North parking lot at the end of Woodland Drive (west bank). For more info or more detailed directions (which I can't provide, sorry!) please contact 741 1208 or 742 0132. Should be a good time... come dressed for the weather!

Hi Ken,
Sources of info about the Hydroelectric project at Trent.  If you are
able to put this on the library website then you might consider adding
the call number for the paper copies of Environmental Screening Report
that are on reserve to the list.
Same info below.
Thanks,
Roger
