RSCA climate change plan approved EXETER - The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) board of directors has adopted a posi- tion paper on climate change to help foster a more resilient watershed to better prepare for future weather extremes. The board approved the document "Preparing for Change" in Ausable Bayfield Watersheds on Nov. 22. The plan includes 10 action items to help educate landowners and community residents about ways to create a stronger watershed to help prepare for the pro- jected increases in extreme weather events such as flooding and drought. The new document emphasizes conservation educa- tion and education to landowners and staff to create more awareness about climate change and variability and to increase mitigation and adaptation initiatives. Conservation Authorities have a demonstrated ability to work with landowners and other partners to protect wetlands, conserve water, encourage sustainable prac- tices and increase forest cover. That capacity is required now to help adapt the water- shed for projected weather extremes, according to the paper. The plan concludes by saying "Together, and with a vision for the future, we can play a positive role in adapting to climate change and the impacts it brings." The document approved by the board will be available Linda Reaume Design Consultant Bob Smyth Design Consultant West Coast kitchens..
