Technical and financial support has
been provided to help the Authority
prepare reports on the location of the
remaining resource lands, including
wetlands, headwaters areas, flood
plains, and river valleys, in each
municipality. The County has also sup-

municipalities 'should protect these lands
from further development through their
secondary plans.
Carman Kaye has been quite active in
conservation through his involvement
with the MVCA, and as a private lan-
downer. He has been an AuthorityDirector

soil and water conservation concerns of
the INCA. This organization was form -
on efforts
ed 10 years ago in Grey Township. To-
day they have over 800 members and
worit across the province to promote
farming practices that sustain soil and
water resources. They do this through
seminars, farm tours, newsletters and
conferences that teach ecological farm-
hig
ary Boyd, a policy advisor for the
Federal Government has been of great
service to the MVCA in problems
related to the management of the Lake
Huron shoreline. Mr. Boyd has a wealth
of education and experience in the field
of coastal geomorphology which he has
freely shared with the Authority staff,
and directors. He has conducted
seminars for directors staff and the

make noniirration for these awards. The

How nice that stalks
So .green and plain
Bring kerneled ears
From planted grain.
To hold by ends
And eat revolving -
So buttery, plump
And menu - solving!
