That is the strong belief of the Ausable Bayfield and Maitland Valley Conservation Authorities, and it has led to their involvement in the Huron County Science Fair. The Ausable Bayfield and Mait- land Valley Conservation Authori- ties, in co-operation with the Huron County Science Fair Com- mittee, will present a Conservation Award to encourage students to explore the complex and exciting field of conservation. The Award will be presented at the conclusion of the county -wide science fair. Conservation education has long been a concern of the two Conservation Authorities - each one operates its own educational program. These are programs where Conservation Authority staff conduct the teaching. "The Conservation Award should pro- mote conservation education be- yond the facilities and capabilities of the Conservation Authorities", according to Gregory Pulham, Community Relations Co-ordina- Pre-Season Sale on Troy -gilt Tillers •Pre -season sale...order before March 10 and receive a free hiller /furrower $89 value •Troy-Bilt sets the standard by which all other tillers are judged •Models from 31 to 8 HP for every size garden HURON TRACTOR 523-4244 Blyth for with the A.B.C.A. Pulham says that the Award could extend conservation education to schools, classrooms and students that have not been involved in the Authori- ties' programs. "It also gives students cause to study conserva- tion in more detail". Debra Perkin, Conservation Education Technician with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, explains that the com- petition is open to students in grades 7 and 8 and that the project must depict an aspect of the wise use of soil and water resources. "Posters and brochures have been sent to all Huron County Public Schools so now it's up to eager students to develop their pro- jects", says Perkin. The Conservation Authorities have included topic suggestions in their brochure and they advise interested students to see their teachers. by Maple Ridge Farms of RR 5, Brussels averaging 1185 lbs. sold for an overall price of $79.18 with sales to $83.
