Total approach team
plans open
The Total Approach Initiative
team studying the Lower Blyth
Brook is inviting residents to attend
an open house and community meet
ing on Dec. 5. The open house will
be held in the lower meeting room of
Blyth Memorial Hall from 2:30 p.m.
to 5 p.m. The community meeting
will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the
same location.
Alison Lobb, chair of the Total
Approach Initiative, reports that the
open house and community meeting
have been planned to try and accom
modate busy December schedules.
“We realize that not everyone will
be able to attend the evening meet
ing. The open house is an opportuni
ty for both rural and village residents
to drop by and see how the project is
progressing.”
At both events team members will
be sharing information on the results
of water quality testing in the Blyth
Brook and summarizing responses
to the recent community survey on
best management practices.
Displays on a variety of topics relat
ing to best management practices
will also be on view. For example
visitors will be able to get informa
tion on the accomplishments and
plans of the Blyth Community
Greenway Committee, find out how
to participate in the Environmental
Farm Plan, and learn about tree
planting services offered by the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority.
The focus of the Total Approach
Initiative is on improving water
quality in the lower Blyth Brook by
encouraging the adoption of best
management practices by village
and rural residents. Best manage
ment practices are defined by the
house
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs as “practical,
affordable approaches to conserving
soil, water and other natural
resources in rural areas” including
nutrient management and appropri
ate cropping and tillage. The use of
best management practices has
proven environmental and economic
benefits to landowners.
The Total Approach team hopes
that the open house and meeting will
generate community interest in
developing a strategy to support the
adoption or continued use of best
management practices along the
Lower Blyth Brook. Everyone is
welcome to attend. Light refresh
ments will be served and visitors
invited to enter the draw for a vari
ety of door prizes. For further infor
mation contact Phil Beard, Total
Approach Project co-ordinator at
