Snowmobilers Being Warned By Police To Stick To Designated Trails

Police are warning snowmobilers following some prohibited activity at the Ferguson Forest Centre.
Grenville County OPP says they’ve received complaints from the public that riders have been driving through the Centre’s arboretum and trails, causing damage in some areas, and ripping seedlings of newly planted trees from the ground.
Vice President for the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation Wes Herring says there’s been a lack of regard on the part of snowmobilers for the property’s multi-use trails.
“People can’t see those seedlings and when they run their snowmobile or have activity across our fields, they’re damaging the seedlings that are growing,” Herring said. “Generally, the interaction between the public and snowmobilers is putting people at risk.”
