Member Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ' VG Ri4 and GREY MVCA reports on Projects cornpleted by student Technician; Dave %mutt, according to Rob Kelp, Seniot Supervisor with M.V.C.A. , The Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority has reported on projects completed by student employees this summer. Due to the shortened, employment periods this year, Program 130 at Maitland Valley ended on August 20. Authority work and all remaining mumicipal projects were convicted during the !'inal few . weeks of the Program. The 'following is a summary Of the field staff activities for the month of August. Falls Reserve Crews- General park maintenance and gate duty were again the major activities undertaken by the Falls' Crew. Clean-up of washrooms, campsites and garbage, cutting grass, and painting and stacking picnic tables occupied much °it the crews' time. Some additional time was spent in the Sharpes Creek area, as more logs and debris had to be removed from the stream bed anci banks. Scything, brushing and clean-up for the town of Goderich completed the municipal work schedule for these crews. Wawanosh Valley Crews Along with general clean-up around the administrative headquarters, some crew members were involved in dismantling the float which was entered in the Mary- borough Township centennial plus 25 parade. The float, originally constructed by Program 130 and Maitland Va lley field staff, won third prize in it's class. . Some time was spent assisting the Falls crew at Goderich, and completing construction of the awning at the Brussels mill. Repairs to-a weeping bed at the farm houge on the Wawanosh property were -completed and a , new gabion/timber bridge was installed to provide access across the Belgrave Creek. , In the village of Lucknow, the crews undertook brushing, river cleanup, and removal of fallen willow trees. Dead trees and brush were also removed and burned for the town of Clinton. Brussels Crew - While some crew members assisted with construc- tion of the new mill awning, others were involved in landscap- ing the day use area, removing weeds and debris from the property, and installing parking, barriers. Other projects inchided: Removal of low branches from the Ethel snow course, garbage clean-tip, cutting grass, replacing and repairing the footbridge at the Harriston C.A., placing additional gabion baskets along the stream banks at the Harriston weir, and assisting With the removal of trees from the Galbraith C.A. plantation. River clean-up was done for the town of Harriston, and the community centre in Moncrieff was painted. Galbraith Crews ,- After what seemed like a long summer of cutting, dragging and burning trees, the plantation management at Galbraith has been completed. Thinning of the plantation was the largest single " proje ct under- taken this summer; the crews and their foremen certainly deserve worthy mention for. a job well done. The Galbraith crew also constructed a set of steps at a cemetery near Gotham, and finished painting .b1ridges and scything along the river bank for the town of Listowel. It should also be mentioned that although we had a larger staff complement this year than ever before, we've had no major accidents, no major injuries, arid no vehicle damage. Some of our problems with the new administra .tive format have been solved, some still remain. It ig the general concensus of supervisors, foremen, subforemen and labourers that the nuMber of People in the field far exceeded the, number necessary. This caused supervisory difficulty and decreased Program efficiency ... I think that working under all of the new pressures and still producing one of the best programs ever experienced at Maitland Valley, provides us with a self-evident indication of the qqality and dedication of our summer and regular staff!
