EXETER • 519.235.2353 • 1-800.361.0677 www.oxetertoyota.ca Bayfield area community unveils local watershed plan at fortieth Bannockburn Fall Hike Annual hill hike attracted 120 people despite rain; Main Bayfield Watershed Plan aims to increase forest and streainside cover and wetlands to help reduce E. coli, total phosphorus, and total suspended solids in local streams, rivers, and lakes ABCA Some rain fell but that didn't deter 120 peo- ple who took part in the 40th Bannockburn Fail !like on Sunday, October (3. The event began with a short ceremony by a community advi- sory committee, from Hayfield and area, to unveil the new plan for the Main Hayfield Watershed. The Main Bayfield Watershed includes the main stein of the Hayfield River, from Clinton to the mouth of the river in Bayfield, as well as Trick's Creek. Community residents worked on an advisory committee for two years to create the management plan. '1 he community plan, released on Sunday, sets a goal to improve local water quality and quantity, and to increase for- est cover, wetlands and stneamside cover. 'Ihe advisory committee wants to reduce Escherichia coli (Is. coli) bacteria, total phos- phorus, and total suspended solids in local streams, the river, and the lake. Recommenda- tions in the plan include establishing buffers and rain gardens, creating wetlands or berms, maintaining crop residue, following nutrient management plans, and planting windbreaks and trees on marginal land. "'there are simple things we can do to help Mother Nature improve water quality in our watershed," said Ainslie Wilcock, a member of the Main Hayfield advisory committee. "We can plant trees such as willows and poplars in wet areas. 'Ihey are extremely efficient at clean- ing up the water due to their extensive root sys- tems and need for water. We can plant native flowers that require less watering. We can install and use rain barrels. We can leave green buffer strips along creeks and watercourses:' She said other ways to improve the water- shed include retiring marginal farm land and aiming to have "30 per cent of farm land cov- ered in crops 100 per cent of the time." "We can make our water cleaner by slowing the water clown before it reaches streams and rivers and to give the plants and sun time to clean the water and keep the soil on the land," she said. t lealthy Watershed Technician I lope Brock, of Ausable Hayfield Conservation, thanked the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation for its $100,000 contribution that trade it pos- sible to work with landowners and residents to conduct community-based planning at the local watershed scale, and other work to improve water duality between 2011 and 2013. 'the Erb Family Foundation is a U.S. foundation dedicated to nurturing environmentally healthy and culturally vibrant communities in metroioolitan Detroit and supporting initiatives to restore the Great Lakes Basin. 'the Erb family has a long association with Hayfield. You may obtain the watershed plan online, as a free download, at the website abca.on.ca.

'the 40th fall hike attracted 120 hikers despite the weather. Hikers enjoyed free refreshments at the hike - including cider, apples, and milk. 'Ihe refreshments were donated by 1 luron Fish and Game Club, McClymont Century Orchard of Varna, Wellesley Apple Products, and t lurm County Dairy Producers. "It was great to sC(' members of the commu- nity join us in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Bannockburn I like," said Denise lszczuk, Conservation Ecducation'li'chnician with Aus- abie Hayfield Conservation. "Many people have made this event a family tradition;' "I've come to this event every year for forty years;' one woman said at the event. "that's the kind of dedication that will ensure this event and this conservation area will be around for others to enjoy in the years to come;" lszccuk said. Hikers enjoyed the refreshments and nature walk and they also teamed about how they can protect soil, water, and living things. Staff mem- bers from Ausahle Hayfield Conservation were stationed throughout the trill to share updates about forests and wetlands, water quality and quantity, stewardship and grants, research and monitoring, Watershed Report Cards, and geouaching. The hike has drawn thousands of visits over the years and some hikers recorded some thoughts and memories in a log book.
