Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority Holds Annual Here
The annual meeting of the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority is scheduled to be
held in the Wingham Town Hall
on Thursday afternoon, March
5th.
The Authority is made up of
representatives of 29 munici-
palities which are either wholly
or in part in the area drained
by the Maitland River. The
thousand -square -mile region
extends from Arthur Township
in the cast to Goderich at the
mouth and from Seaforth in the
south to Harriston in the north.
The Maitland Authority was
expanded from the Middle
Maitland Conservation Author-
ity three years ago, which took
in only one branch of the river,
to cover the whole watershed.
In the interval, the organi-
zation has been active in a
number of locations, Several
hundred acres have been pur-
chased for the purpose of re-
forestation, which is done under
management agreements with
the Ontario Department of
Lands and Forests. Of more

prominence has beep the estab-
lishment of a farm pond subsidy
program available to all farm-
ers in the watershed.
Existing conservation areas
taken over from the old•Mid-
dle Maitland Authority have
been improved and are now be-
ginning to show the effect of a
number of years of organized
effort.
New conservation areas at
Gorrie, Bluevale and Harriston
have been acquired and are be-
ing developed. Itt the latter
case, a park is being construct-
ed with the costs being shared
by the Town of Harriston and
the Township of Minto. A cost
sharing scheme was also organ-
ized to improve the retaining
wall along the river in the
Town of Listowel as a flood con-
trol project.
On this year's agenda will be
a discussion regarding the ac-
quisition of a 230 -acre site near
Bcnmiller, known as the Falls
Reserve.
This property has been op-
tioned by the Authority and if
purchased it will be used as a
multiple purpose conservation
area. It is, perhaps, one of a
very few areas in the watershed
falling into this category. It
could, over a period of years,
be developed into a show -piece
of conservation.
The Authority has been hav-
ing growing pains since it was
organized. This past year a
full-time working superintend-
ent was hired, which meant
that vehicles and tools had to
be provided. Then, rather un-
expectedly, the Authority was
provided with the services of a
full-time resident field officer,
by the Department of Lands and
Forests, It then became neces-
sary to pro•.ide office space and
furnishings, which have been
located in Listowel.
As a result, a considerable
portion of the past year's bud-
get has been required for capi-
tal outlay for equipment, which
of course, will he in use•for a
long time.
The Authority has been fac-
ed with a problem of setting
out a firm policy of action, as
detailed reports being compiled
by experts wor<<ing for the Con-
servation Branch are not yet
available for study, These re-
ports will eventually cover
such aspects of conservation as
forest cover, and areas that will
lend themselves to reforestation,
a study of the water resources
of the valley, land use, wild-
life and flood control. Sotne of
these studies were completed
last summa and fall but are
not as yet in the hands of the
organization. In the interval,
the Authority has been making
short-range plans and starting
schemes that were obviously
needed. When the detailed
studies are completed, long-
range plans can be laid and
phased over a period of years.
Like everything else, con-
servation costs money, and while
in most instances the Ontario
Government provides about 50
per cent of the funds, the re-
mainder is raised by the 29 con-
tributing municipalities. Due to
the fact that conservation can
be a nebulous thing, and money
spent is not necessarily provid-
ing a benefit to any given lo-
cality, the Authority has ex-
perienced some opposition for
various projects from some of
the contributing centres. It is
not an easy task for any coun-
cil to think beyond its own
municipality, but such must be
the case if conservation on a
watershed such as the Maitland
is to progress.
