The Ausable-Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority (ABCA) owns
approximately 10,000 acres of land
throughout its area of jurisdiction.
For the past 50 years the ABCA
has purchased land for a number of
reasons: flood control, erosion
control, significant natural features
and recreation.
The ABCA has reforested and
developed nature trails on many
properties. They are important
recreation areas in many communi-
ties and provide habitat for wildlife.
Some of the land that the ABCA
currently owns is not needed for
environmental protection; the land
came with larger parcels of land
when it was purchased. A property
review done • by the ABCA
recommended that some land be
sold.
Such is the case with five
residential lots within the Town of
Parkhill. The ABCA would like to
sell the lots in order to raise funds
for the protection of environ-
mentally important land. There is
also a small parcel of land in the
Village of Dublin that ABCA has
offered to the Township of Hibbert.
In Exeter, the ABCA is selling land
in McNaughton Park (excluding the
house) to the Town of Exeter.
An advertisement in local papers
on Oct. 23 has further information
on the Parkhill lots.
