Debra Perkin, Conservation Education Technician for the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity conducts the programs and is assisted by Diane Lalonde. "W a want children to be comfortable in the outdoors and gain an appreciation and awareness of our natural environment," said Miss Perkin. "Through these activities the children also become more knowledgeable about the environment, and the need to manage natural resources. W e do this by having 'hands on' activities where the students learn by doing" she said. The programs are designed to reflect and enhance what the children study in the classroom. The W awanosh Valley Conservation Area is an Ideal place for learning about the outdoors. The property has 400 acres of rolling hills, natural hardwood forest and coniferous plantation. A classroom facility was set upon the site in 1984 when an initial pilot project was offered to several lasses from watershed schools. S,nce that time, programs have expanded to fill the need for outdoor education. "Teachers and students have been pleased with the programs," said Miss Perkin, "we really appreciate their enthusiasm and support." The conservation Education programs are also available to all organized groups such as Girl Guides and Scouts. Trained interpreters are available through the MVCA to design programs relating to the groups particular studies. School programs will resume in the fall. Anyone requesting further information about the programs can contact the MVCA office in Wroxeter. Armstrong optimistic on Huronview Continued from page Al London area and arrangements are currently being made for a delegation from the county to meet with Mr. Sweeney. Howeyer, council is still faced with the dilemma concerning the $750,000 already budgeted this year for the pro ct. Wye some discussions thedunemeet g around giving the a}�noney h to the municipaliors are in favor of setting uflpp reserves, most e fund for future use in the Huronview project. "We haven't had a reserve fund with which to fall back on. I think we'd be remiss to entertain thoughts of returning the $750,000 we already have on hand. To me, it's not good business to get rid of reserve funds we have on hand," said Colborne Reeve Russel Kernighan. Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham said the funding problems for the Huronview project mayhave been avoided if the county had set u + resery fund it► previous years. p' We Wdttin"t tid'in this ititih'we'r0'in' today if we Had set aglde moiieSl iff fret/ ous' years," he said.

This gets the taxpayers as mad as anything. If we put this off, we'll be right back where we started from." Mr. Rau said the Huronview committee will meet with the ministry first before deciding'what steps to take with. the money, already raised.. Waste Continued from page Al county a "step in the right direction" because the individual municipalities are finding studies for potential new landfill sites and the legalities that accompany them are "very expensive." "If the county could get into the landfill business it would be beneficial to the municipalities. if you do it on your own - it's expensive." said Mr. Bell. Hay Township Reeve Lionel Wilder who voted against the proposal said the project is another in a long tine of costly studies within the county. "Ono study would just lead to another," he said. Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney said the master plan for waste management would be beneficial in giving the county a clear picture of its status in regards to landfill sites. "ft can't help but be a help in finding out how we stand and what the alternatives are with our landfill sites," he said. Mr. Dempsey said if the county's applica- tion is approved for the program, a steering committee would be made up of two voting members from the county, two members designated from the MOE as well as a non-voting advisor from the Environmental Assessment branch of the ministry. 6,000, 8,000 & 10,000 B,T.U.s In stock to chdose front 3990� ex. 6,000 B.T.U.
