Authority to mark 40th anniversary The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority will reach a milestone in 1986 - its Aliv.40th anniversary. Back in 1946 on July 30, e Ausable River Conservation Authority Was officially created (the first conserva- tion authority to be formed in Ontario under the new Conservation Authorities Act). With expansion of its jurisdiction in the early 1970s to include the Bayfield River watersh- ed and part of Goderich Township, the Authority became known as the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority. The ABCA feels that 40 successful years of operation is worthy of some celebration. Charman Gordon Johnson explains that the Ausable Bayfield is proud to be the longest established Conservation Authority in the province and proud of its record of opera- tions over the 40 years. ....' Johnson feels that tree planting has been one of the primary conservation activities of the ABCA in terms of numbers of trees planted and acres of soil protected from ero- sion. "Of course the erosion control works in Port Franks along the Cut, in Grand Bend and in Bayfield have been equally important because they have stabilized those river banks and greatly improvedthe recrea- tionai'value'ftit Boating," 'say ' - ` L' ookin'g'to'the ftlthre, Jbhfilsdii Onticipat 'k the continuing response of the ABCA to local conservation needs. Johnson does see one specific program area that requires more attention. "The ABCA should strive to pro- tect Environmentally Significant Areas, such as Hay Swamp, and this requires government funding support," he says. The ABCA has planned several public ,events during 1986 in recognition of its 40th anniversary. On July 12 there will be a bus tour for the general' public of the northern half of the ABCA's watersheds, a picnic and a brief dedication at the Clinton Conserva- tion Area. Formal anniversary celebrations will oc- cur on July 30 at the Conservation Authority's Administration Centre at Mor- rison Dam (Exeter).. On August 9, the focus will shift to the Port Franks Conservation Area official opening for the new washroom/gatehouse and fish fry; then to the Rock Glen Conservation Area official opening for the new museum/information centre and a light snack. Chairman Johnson suggests that the an- niversary gives the Conservation Authority the opportunity to "put forward our man- date, highlight our priorities in flooding and erosion control work, and to keep those main itemsof the conservation effort in the minds of the decision makers and the public."
