Federal Woodlands Preservation League

Created by group of citizens worried about the massive logging near Meech Lake and Kingsmere, the Federal Woodlands Preservation League ((フランス語:Ligue contre le déboisement des sites fédéraux)) began urging the Canadian Federal Government in 1934 to take action on preserving the Gatineau Hills' woodlands. It is credited with creating Gatineau Park.〔 The New Woodlands Preservation League, Roderick Percy Sparks: Founder of Gatineau Park, brief submitted to the National Capital Commission’s Board of Directors, April 4, 2003. 〕
==History==
The Mackenzie King diaries provide insight into how the League was created. On September 20, 1933, King met with his private secretary Harry Baldwin to discuss the issue. "We talked of starting a 'Society to preserve the Natural Beauty of the environs of Ottawa' -- that is the title I gave it," wrote King in his diary.〔 〕
At the League's first meeting on May 8, 1935 at Ottawa's Chateau Laurier, prime minister R.B. Bennett and opposition leader Mackenzie King were appointed as its patrons. Its first president was Harry Baldwin.
The list of its patrons and members includes many notable citizens of the day. While it operated between 1934 and 1947, members of the league included, Governors General Bessborough, Tweedsmuir and Athlone, Sir Robert Borden, Arthur Meighen, R.B. Bennett, Mackenzie King, Harry Baldwin, Percy Sparks, Duncan MacTavish, Ernest Lapointe and Ambrose O’Brien. As well, its membership included Colonel J.T.C. Thompson, W.D. Herridge, Lieutenant-Colonel Cameron Macpherson Edwards and Charles Bowman.〔 (Note: the Chronicle contains numerous errors of fact.)〕
