Three Species at Risk advisors appointed



Premier Dalton McGuinty has appointed three academics to the Committee on Species at Risk in Ontario.

They are Joanna Freeland of Trent University, Daniel Heath of the University of Windsor and Dan Kraus, manager of conservation science at the Nature Conservancy Canada.

The committee advises the government on its Species at Risk programs which have recently been controversial among farmers for measures to protect Bobolinks and Eastern Meadowlarks, including controls on when hay fields and pastures can be mowed.
