NOVEMBER 17, 2003 Late winter, little snow predicted Alex Mathias is not surprised at the unseasonably warm weather. The beaver predicted it. Mathias has found that when the beaver bring in their winter food late, then winter is late coming. That's what he is seeing this year. "When the beaver put lots of mud on their lodges, there won't be much snow over winter," he said. This, too, he is seeing. First snowfall seen from space Snow is visible on the ground after the November 8 snowfall.

 Blueberry Lake trail to be logged. MICHAEL HENRY |
NOVEMBER 7, 2003 Blueberry Lake trail may get axed One of Temagami's most popular old-growth hiking trail networks may get cropped by logging this winter. The section of the trails, which are east of Cassels Lake, to be logged is known as the Charcoal Trail. It is the site of a rare, pine-forest, surface fire. Ecologists at a forest research institute want to preserve the 1996 fire location. These type of fires were once common until fire fighting largely eliminated them. "This may be the only walking trail in Ontario that shows a recent surface fire in a pine forest," says Michael Henry of Ancient Forest Exploration and Research. In these type of fires the ground is burned while the mature trees are left intact. This leaves soil exposed for healthy pine regeneration. The Blueberry Lake trails are a short paddle from the town of Temagami and meander through a mix of old-growth red and white pine, and less common old-growth white cedar. The researchers have requested that one and a half hectares of the planned logging be preserved. Henry is asking the public to call on MNR to preserve the entire Blueberry trail network.
