As many know, DND has restricted people from having access to the =
property at Hartlen Point,  but birders have been welcome there for over =
50 years AND we want to keep the "welcome" part intact. Until Nov 4th, =
DND has asked us to stay off the gravelled roads beyond the gate near =
the Golf Course parking lot for safety reasons.=20

There are DND personnel on site testing high powered lasers while =
watching for people trespassing at this time. It is very unlikely a =
laser will be pointed anywhere close to where we would walk, but =
accidents can happen so for compliance reasons and for safety, please =
stay out of that area.

Walking the west or harbour side beach is fine; walking along the =
fairways, giving right of way to golfers is also fine. You should have =
your current NSBS Membership Card on hand to show DND or Military Police =
should you be asked since we have been given permission to use the land =
for birding and photography.=20

In talking with DND today, they will try to advise us earlier next time =
so that we can get the word out a bit faster and have fewer challenges.

Dave
