The Maitland Conservation
Foundation will hold a fund raising
dinner on Saturday, April 15 at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Com
munity Centre, to benefit the
development of improved conser
vation education facilities at the
Wawanosh Nature Centre.
The evening will include a roast
beef dinner, entertainment and an
auction and raffle. Everyone is
welcome to attend.
Proceeds from the event will
be put towards improvements to
classroom facilities at the Wawa
nosh Nature Centre, a conservation
education facility located in East
Wawanosh Township.
“These facilities are being ex
panded to meet the need for
conservation education in our
area”, noted Vince Judge Chair
man of the Conservation Founda
tion, “unfortunately grants from
(he Provincial Government do not
cover all of the development
costs.”
The Centre has been operating
for four years and now attracts a
total of 5,000 students annually
from Huron, Perth, Bruce and
Wellington Counties. The centre
provides the opportunity for stu
dents to learn about the natural
environment and the need to
manage natural resources such as
soil, water, forests and wildlife.
Wawanosh is located on a 400 acre
property along the Maitland River
on concession six-seven of East
Wawanosh Township. Two instruc
tors work at the centre and provide
programs to grades kindergarten
through ten. The nature centre
property is also open to the public
for hiking, fishing and cross-coun
try skiing.
Approximately $13,000 is needed
to finish the improvements current
ly being completed at the centre by
the Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority. The Conservation Foun
dation hopes to raise several thou
sand dollars through the fund
raising dinner.
Local businesses will be asked to
support the Nature Centre through
the donation of raffle and auction
items. Tickets to the dinner and
information on how local business
es can support this event are
available by calling 335-3557.
