Charlottetown, The Guardian: Editorials | It's a good investment to keep our trails happy: "It's a good investment to keep our trails happy print this article
The hiring of two seasonal conservation officers to patrol the Confederation Trail and other recreational areas is a reasonable expenditure. The province has invested a lot of money and resources developing the trail systems and promoting our beach and natural areas. It only makes sense to ensure they're used properly and safely.

The Department of Environment, Energy and Forestry hired the two officers following a pilot project, and according to the P.E.I. Trails Association, which has co-ordinated volunteer patrolling, the two extra personnel should strengthen enforcement and 'make the whole trail system safer and more enjoyable for all users.'

That should be the objective here. The only way the province can ensure the trail is protected and safe is to make its presence known. The two seasonal officers hired by the Department of Environment, Energy and Forestry helps to do this."
