Wetlands initiative receives $5000 donation Laura Broadley Clinton News Record The Healthy Headwaters Wetlands Initiative of the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority received a $5000 donation from Enbridge. The initiative works with landowners in the area to enhance, create and restore wetlands in the region. "We design a wetland and some- where to hold water back on the prop- erty. We recreate and so sometimes we do excavations and sometimes we have to hold the water back if it's flowing through," said Rachael Scholten, stew- ardship technician with ABCA. Wetlands are important because it provides water storage, improves water quality, replenishes groundwater sup- plies and reduces flooding and erosion. In pre -settlement times south-west- ern Ontario had more than 20 per cent wetland coverage. Today the wetland coverage is approximately two per cent, according to the ABCA. "The idea is to keep the water on the land longer so it has a chance to settle sediment and nutrients out before going into our drainage," said Scholten. Every project is different because the particular characteristics are different for each piece of land. It's not just restoring wetlands that were previously in the location, some- times technicians have to create them. "They're all different and they can take time after we recreate them to evolve back into their natural state after they're constructed," said Scholten. The Healthy Headwaters Wetlands Ini- tiative is a joint mission of the ABCA, Huron Stewardship Council, Middlesex Stewardship Council and Ducks Unlim- ited Canada. The initiative restores 50 to 170 acres each year. This can include restoring or creating five to 10 wetland sites and planting 23,000 to 31,000 trees. Scholten notes that a lot of the land in the area has been cleared for agricul- ture and said that now there is the opportunity to restore some of the land back to its natural state.
