MNR News Release
*******************
A Powassan area man has been fined $1,750 for illegally harvesting white pine trees.
Rolly Gagnon pleaded guilty to cutting six white pine trees from Crown land in Boulter Township near Powassan. The trees have been forfeited to the Crown.
In January 2010, Gagnon cut the trees without the necessary licence and moved most of the wood to his private property which was nearby. An anonymous complaint alerted the Ministry of Natural Resources to the activity.
Justice of the Peace Michel Moreau heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, North Bay on April 29, 2010.
To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry officer during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
