The Citizen, 2015-10-01, Page 18PAGE 18. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2015. Lions Club, IPM take home best float honours The annual Fall Colour Tour at Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area is being held on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Hosted by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA), this event cele- brates both the autumn season and local stewardship efforts. Wagon rides through the Conservation Area will be available from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The wagon rides will travel down an old black cherry laneway and through a mead- ow filled with fall wildflowers. Visitors will be dropped off at the hardwood forest if they wish to walk back along the river trail. At 2 p.m. Conservation Authority staff will be leading a guided walk focusing on how plants and animals prepare for winter. Visitors are also welcome to pick up a trail map and explore the property on their own. It’s a great chance to participate in the 2015 Healthy Hikes initiative. The MVCA challenges you to spend some time walking through local Conservation Areas and track your hiking time for a chance to win ter- rific prizes. The Fall Colour Tour is an official Healthy Hikes event and participants are eligible for 200 bonus points. More information is available at www.healthyhikes.ca Throughout the afternoon, MVCA staff will be on hand to provide information about the Conservation Authority’s stewardship services. Visitors can stop at the creek to see a variety of aquatic creatures and find out what they tell us about water quality. Forestry, tree planting and soil information will also be avail- able and Doug Hocking, MVCA Water Quality Specialist, will be answering questions about grants available through the Huron County Clean Water Program. As a special feature of this year’s Fall Colour Tour, the Huron Stewardship Council will be bring- ing their Reptiles at Risk display that includes live animals. It’s a chance to see local reptiles up close, learn about their amazing adaptations and find out what we can do locally to help boost their numbers. Admission to the Fall Colour Tour is free and there will be lots of hot apple cider available. Donations to support education programs at the Wawanosh Nature Centre will be gratefully accepted. Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area is located north of Blyth, and west of County Road 4 at 38854 Nature Centre Road. For informa- tion visit www.mvca.on.ca or con- tact MVCA at 519-335-3557.
