ight: bold;">To:</span></b> naturens@chebucto.ns.ca <br> <b><span st I used to go camping at Keji quite a bit when my kids were small. But not any more. The crowded front country, with its festivals and lectures, and masses of paddlers on the Mersey River at Jakes Landing. The busiest section of a river in the province. And the back country? The reservation system, the expense, and all the rules. You cannot pick mushrooms (or blueberries!) or cut yourself a new wiener stick. A friend of mine compared it to being in a museum, where you can look but cannot touch. We now have some forty wonderful provincial wilderness areas in Nova Scotia, with nature and scenery equal to our national parks. Admission is free, and you can camp there all winter. And the regulations aren't as onerous as in our national parks, nor are the crowds.... That's where I go most weekends. I don't think our prime minister and his finance minister intended this when they cut Parks Canada's budget, but Keji will now become more of a wilderness and less a playground... At least in the winter. Dusan Soudek
