MVCA Fall Color Tour
is Sunday at Wawanos
The Wawanosh Valley Conserva-
tion Area is the site of the 1989 Fall
Color Tour, hosted by the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority. The
tour will be held this Sunday, Oct,
1, from 1 to 4 p.m. There is no
admission.
Autumn is a spectacular season
to explore Wawanosh. Deciduous
trees are vibrant shades of yellow,
orange and red, while fall wild-
flowers brighten the fields and
'meadows.
Bird enthusiasts will enjoy
watching for visiting species which
stop to feed and rest at Wawanosh
during migration. In the forest ani-
mals are actively preparing for win-
ter. While the chipmunks and squir-
rels store food, the groundhogs'and
bats are trying to gain weight
before beginning their winter hiber-
nation.
Wawanosh is bursting with not
only the sights and sounds of
autumn, but also the fragrant scent
of apples and crisp leaves.
To celebrate this special time of
the year, the fall color tour will fea-
ture'horse-drawn wagon rides
through the conservation area.
Authority staff also will be -leading
walks through the woods and
along the Maitland River.
Hot apple cider will be served at
the nature centre and children of all
ages are invited to explore the dis-
plays and activities set up inside.
The Wawanosh Nature Centre has
undergone extensive renovations
Driveways
pose danger
to children
The family driveway is a haz-
ardous place for children under
five, reports the Ontario Safety
League.
Statistics show that more than
half the children under five who
died as a result of automobile
mishaps iri Washington state
'between 1979 and 1983 met their
fate in off-road accidents, chiefly in
their own driveways, the league
reports. Typically, children aged
one to four are backed over in their
own driveway by a parent driving
a van or pickup truck. These vehi-
cles are pinpointed as particularly
hazardous because of the driver's
inability to see a small child mov-
ing around the larger vehicle,
according to researchers.
Buckle up,
Ontario!
October has been designated
"Buckle Up Ontario" month, says
