Separate board Teachers and students will be working with new material in three different subject .areas . this fall as the Separate Board does pilot projects on new curriculum. Grade 8 geography students will be using an updated cumculum that makes reference to the counties' agricultural roots, to technological change and to Catholic teachings. The revisions were done by Gino Ferri, a teacher at Mother Teresa School in Walkerton and an authority on outdoor survival skills. The board will also adapt a French Immersion language arts course it purchased from the Water- loo County Board, and implement it at the primary level in the fall. The third new curriculum covers Grades 7, 8 and 9 instrumental music. Superintendent Bill Parent said it was developed by all 21 boards in this part of Ontario, and called it "a superbly -crafted document." "It is very focussed in providing sound guidance to its teachers," he said. Shrub and tree plantings -available for stream -side landowners 4 Landowners along streams and rivers in the Village of Lucknow will have the opportunity to have shrubs and trees planted on their properties as part of the Community Greenway Project. The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) is now completing plantings along streambanks on private lands for 1993 and is taking applications for next spring. "Stream -side landowners can contact me at 335-3557 to discuss planting options on their property," said Chris Hart of the MVCA. "After the consultation the landowner can decide whether or not to proceed with plantings." The trees and shrubs are being offered on a first-come, first-served basis to residents living along Kinloss, Anderson and Dickie's Creeks. Planting schemes can be developed to ensure that views of the river are maintained. A variety of native trees and shrubs will be available. MVCA staff will complete the planting. About 180 trees and shrubs have been planted on eight private properties in the Village. Streambank vegetation is important in maintaining the health of a steam. Trees, shrubs and plants filter run-off and reduce bank erosion. This decreases the amount of damaging sediment and other pollutants that enter the watercourse. Trees and shrubs provide shade that cools the water, improving fish habitat, Birds and other wildlife also benefit from the enhanced environment. The partners in the Greenway Project include the Lions Club, Horticultural Society, the Village, Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment Partners Fund.
