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."
