Draining of wetland raises concerns MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com By draining a wetland in Scarborough’s Rouge Park this spring, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority fatally disrupted the lives of birds and amphibians living there, local
naturalists say. The Authority started emptying Reesor Wetland in April because, an official said this week, a resident beaver and muskrats had dug into an earth berm along one of its edges more than 30 times, and the structure was in danger of col-
lapse. But dedicated wetland watchers and Friends of the Rouge Watershed, a conservation group which paid for the marsh in 2008 and helped plant wildflowers there, believe the TRCA overreacted. >>>FATE, page 3
