TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — The donation boxes posted at various
conservation areas will be removed, due to thiev-
ery and because the community has not embraced
this method as much as was hoped by the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA).
During the ABCA board of directors meeting last
month, a motion was carried to replace the dona-
tion boxes by encouraging people to send dona-
tions to the ABCA, thus being eligible for receipts
for income tax purposes.
ABCA stewardship and conservation lands super-
visor Kate Monk explained that during the funding
crisis in the mid-1990s, the ABCA was forced to
pass the cost of property management to its users.
"User pay/donation boxes were installed at
Thedford Conservation Area, Morrison Dam
Conservation Area, Bannockburn Wildlife Area,
Parkhill Conservation Area and the Parkhill
Conservation Area boat launch," says Monk.
"Staff quickly learned that these boxes and asso-
ciated signage were targets of vandals," adds
Monk.
The ABCA then altered the boxes, making them
more vandal -resistant.
Monk explained that nowadays vandals use
power tools, opening the boxes and stealing the
donations.
"Staff are also concerned the cash boxes are also
attracting thieves and vandalism to the rest of the
property," says Monk.
In 2006, the ABCA collected $76 at Morrison Dam
Conservation Area, $10 at Thedford Conservation
Area, $10 at Bannockburn Conservation Area and
$10 at Parkhill Conservation Area.
POLICE BRIEF
911 call leads to arrest
LAMBTON SHORES — Lambton OPP have arrested
and charged a 60 -year-old Sarnia man with impaired

eling south on Highway 21 near Pinery Provincial Park
called the OPP Communications Centre in London of a
