Each year the Authority presents an award to individuals and groups for significant work in conserva- tion, and Walker was on hand dur- ing the Authority's annual meeting at the community centre in Sea - forth Thursday to receive proper recognition. Walker has spearheaded many environmental projects at Huron Centennial, but shrugs off most of the recognition modestly. "Although, I've been involved, 1 really don't dese3ve all the recogni- tion," said Walker. "It belongs to the school and the kids." . Over the past 25 years, students and teachers alike haveteen work- ing to preserve the'natural environ- ment around the school in a Natu- ral Habitat. Each year new trees are planted and many of the first ones now tower some 30 feet. Nearly every grade is takes part in some form or another. This year, senior students trimmed and moved trees to other locations on the properly, while the grade two class work on secret gardens by planting plots of flowers along trails. The 33 -acre school area now boasts many types of foliage in- cluding autumn olive berry bushes to help feed wildlife. In addition to trees for nesting birds, shelter for animals is provid- ed by a unique selection of uncut grass, wood duck and bluebird box- es as well as trail perches. A preda- tor -proof composter has been con-- - structed, end the school also boasts' • a 25 -station nature trail which winds its way through the habitat. Huron Centennial also has its own lagoon for a septic system, which students have since incorpo- rated into their general scheme. Water fowl now thrive in the area, and construction has begun on a float to offer a resting place for -Ca - nadian Geese. Funding has arrived in many formawithiShellpproviding a I$3,000 cheque as part of their Shell Envi- ronment Fund and tremendous sup port from Huron Fish and Game. "Ken Meronets and the Ministry of Natural Resources have been outstanding as have the contribu- tions of the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority," confirmed Walker. Future plans for the area include transplanting more trees and shrubs and the erection of houses for pur- ple martin. All in all, the project has wined into a wonderful experience for both students and teachers, a wel- come extension to the learning -en- vironment of the classroo;tt. "It's pretty amazing .what a group can do with the habitat around their school," said Walker. "We just hope more people stop in for a look and realize what they can do with their own." ABCA }presents annual awards SEAFORTH - For the first time, all recipients for the Ausable Bay- field Conservation Authority's an: nual conservation awards were from the northern part of the organ- • ization's watershed. Three awards were presented Thursday evening at the authority's annual meeting in the Seaforth Community Centre. Bert and Margsret:Daynaid were presented with° a g)laque ,for "Con- • servation Land Management - Fam- ily category" by outgoing -chairman Fred Lewis for their work in pro- moting conservation on their Staf- fa-area farm since 1949. The Day - nerds have used low tillage methods, planted trees, used buffer strips along water • courses, and have protected wildlife and habitat t co_and land. The Daynards also encourage the public to view the wildlife that comes to their farm. Darwin and Erma Lannin, also of Hibben Township, won the "Con- servation Land Management - Cor- poration category", award for their operation of their hog farm near the headwaters of the Bayfield River. Since the mid-1970s, the Lannins started planting windbreaks along their fields, and incorporated crop rotation system, and enlarged their liquid waste system to deliver ma- nure safely. to the soil from May to November only. In the "Environmental Advocacy category" the winner was Bud Walker of Clinton, a teacher at Hu- ron Centennial School near Bruce - field. Walker was credited with spearheading the environmental ef- forts of the school, including tree planting, wildlife habitat creating and other environmental activities. Lewis said Walker's influence on his students will help in"t6 conser- vation of our environment for many years to come.
