NORTH VAN DISTRICT COUNCIL

Eagle nest del

THE GIRL guides in Second Seymour Company will have
to wait a few more weeks before they can again appear be-
fore North Vancouver District Council in their continuing
effort to protect an eagle nesting spot.

In an Oct. 29 letter to council,
guide leader Mary Huntington re-
quested that she be allowed to br-
ing a third delegation before coun-
cil to make representations for the
nesting tree at the end of Dollar
Road in the Dollarton area of
Deep Cove.

Bui council chose to defer Hun-
tington’s request until staff have
consulted with Ministry of the En-
vironment officials and can make
further recommendations to coun-
cil about preserving the nest.

In making a motion for deferral,
Mayor Marilyn Baker saia it was
her intent to avoid further heated
meetings with the guides until
council receives its staff report.

Baker said she wanted to avoid
“an emotional foray of a meeting
with a number of girl guides...i
think it is our responsibility to deal
with this in a responsible manner
and not just respond to an emo-
tional plea."’

At its regular meeting on Oct. 26
council set aside three lots in the
Roche Point Land Development
housing project for a 40-metre
eagle nesting buffer zone, but
Huntington and her guides say a
100-metre zone is the minimum
needed to shield the eagles and
their young from human activity.

Ald. Joan Gadsby wanted to
deny Huntington’s request to ap-
pear again before council.

“We dealt with this matter on a
very fair and equitable basis,’’ said
Gadsby, ‘‘and I really feel there’s
no need for any further delegation
request from this particular group

of guides."’

But Ald. Bill Rodgers accused
Gadsby of trying to muzzle free
speech.

“LT think this is information that
ought to be received and } like the
form of a delegation because it
permits council the opportunity to
ask questions and receive
answers,"’ said Rodgers.

Gadsby expressed concern about
the economic loss to the district if
lots are not developed in an effort
to protect the eagle nesting
ground,

Gadsby indicated that the guides

perhaps did not have a good
understanding of these economic
aspects.

“These young guides ~ and | was
a guide once myself - should be
taught a number of things, and not
only (about) the bald eagle...but
perhaps a little bit about the free
enterprise system,’’ said Gadsby.

Ald. Craig Clark and Ald. Mur-
ray Dykeman supported Mayor
Baker in deferring Huntington’s
request. ;

Said Dykeman, ‘‘I’m not sure
that we're going to clarify our
thinking too much until we get the
specific reports on the questions of
eagles nesting and the possible
hazards thereof.”

In stressing the importance of
waiting for a further staff report,

egation deferred

Baker said *‘Our intent, if we're
going to do this, is not just to pull
off three lots from development
and hope they (the eagles) stay
there, but to actually effect the
preservation of that eagtes’ nest.”’

Huntington's Oct. 29 letter re-
quested a third delegation so that
further evidence could be pres-
ented to council supporting a
100-metre buffer zone.

The eagle nest - which is located
high atop a 400-year-old Douglas
fir - is estimated to be 12 feet in
diameter and six feet deep.

B.C.’s environment
does not have clear guidelines for
protecting eagle nesting grounds -
although other provinces and the
United States do.
