wants support
plyOrt
for school programs
By Shelley McPhee-Haist
CLINTON - Since 1984, the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) has
been working, to further the education of
elementary school children with special pro-
grams ,and courses on conservation and
nature study.
In 1985 alone, more than 200 children took
part in the outdoor education program at the
East Wawanosh Valley Conservation
Centre.
The MVCA is asking the Huron County
l3oard of Education to provide both financial
and programming support to further the
programs offered.
Board members heard a presentation
made by MVCA staff at their monthly ses-
sion on September 2. Members agreed that
the outdoor education program was well
supported throughout the school system, but
they determined that the board could not
readily make any financial commitments to
assist in further developments.
The proposal will be taken back to the
board's education committee for further
review, with several questions and concerns
to be discussed.
Among them, pointed out by the Goderich-
Colborne trustee Joan Van den Broeck is the
fact that students in the Huron school
system also use the education program pro-
vided at Camp Sylvan by the Ausable-
•Bayfield Conservation Authority. Students
also visit such establishments as the county
museum and the historic gaol.
"If the board was involved in the cost
sharing with the MVCA, in all fairness, it
would have to make the same consideration
for others," she said.
Bob Allan, director of education, provided
some background information, noting, "A
joint proposal for cost sharing came before
the board in the past and the board respond-
ed with a user fee system." He added,
"There is some advantage to us keeping a
little distance from the groups, we work
with."
Les Tervitt, general manager of the
MVCA said that the education programs
currently are financed through provincial
grants, donations and through user fees.
Programs cost $1 per student as well as a
$25 general fee.
The Conservation Centre provides 25 dif-
ferent programs for elementary school
children, and a total of 110 days •of
programs.
The programs, which are tied into local
school curriculum, study all aspects of
wildlife, nature and conservation. The
general aim of the progams are to teach
young people about the need for nature
conservation.
Mr. Tervitt said the MVCA hopes to
develop programs for secondary school
students. He noted. "It is vital for youth to
understand the resource management that
is going on in the country."
In his presentation to the board of educa-
tion, Mr. Tervitt requested a two-point pro-
posal: to form a joint planning committee
between the board and the MVCA to main-
tain quality programs and to provide input
from both factions and teachers: and to
share staff and operations cost at the educa-
tion centre.

Give extra
Roundup thaf
boost with
Frigate.
By helping it penetrate the leaf's waxy surfaces more easily, FRIGATE surfactant gives
ROUNDUP added power when it comes to zapping quackgrass; more ROUNDUP gets
into the weed so control is enhanced. Use the low rate of ROUNDUP plus FRIGATE in
200L of water or more, the best combination for quackgrass control.
