Love, theme of WUCC meeting
Some of those who have
travelled afar to get away
from the winter are starting to
drift back to God's country.
John Huether is home from
his trip to Dominican
Republic and Ed McClure is
back from his two-week stay
in Costa Rica.
Then there is Helen, Mike
and Graeme Craig who were
gone for three weeks down to
Arizona, Sierra Vista to be
exact. The nearest large city
is about an hour away and it is
In the spring of 2001 the
Huron Stewardship Council
and Ausable. Bayfield
Conservation Authority are
working together to offer
assistance with seedling costs
for landowners interested in
planting trees or shrubs that
will create or enhance natural
corridors. Natural corridor
projects could include link-
ages between existing wood-
lots or establishment of
enhancement of wildlife cor-
ridors, stream bank vegetation
and windbreaks/ shelterbelts.
Healthy landscapes need to
have linkages to allow for
genetic material to exchange
and adapt. In other words,
plants and animals need to
move around to survive; even
more so when changes in land
use and climate put stress on
native habitats, making adap-
tation very critical.
The landscape of southern
Ontario is generally a patch-
work of isolated forest
"islands". Linkages between
these "islands" are of critical
importance in allowing plant
and animal movement
throughout the area. Linkages
provide other benefits,
including wind protection for
crops or farmsteads, reduc-
tion of soil erosion and
enhancement of water quali-
ty.
Currently, prices for appro-
priate nursery stock have
risen as the province no
longer subsidizes tree
seedling production, and farm
incomes are typically down.
To help landowners make the
long-term commitment to the
future of tree planting and
corridor establishment, the
Huron Stewardship Council
and Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority have
developed a partnership to
subsidize the cost of nursery
stock for a limited number of
sites in 2001.
The subsidy is at a rate of
30 cents per seedling to a
maximum of $300 per site
for qualifying projects.
The project has received
funding support from the
Canada Millennium
Partnership Fund and Ontario
Stewardship.
This program is open to
landowners in all of Huron
County and those portions of
Perth, Middlesex and
Tucson. Helen said that she
had always pictured Arizona
as a flat desert-type of land so
she was surprised to see how
mountainous it actually is.
While there they enjoyed
the hot tub and pool that was
at their disposal, taking little
day trips to sightsee. Some of
their trips took them to
Tombstone and on a short
venture into Mexico.
It was good to get away and
experience a chance of pace,
says Helen.
With all of the melting that
went on last week there was
an emergency flood call at the
Walton Hall. To the rescue
came Barb Durrell, Judy Lee,
Shannon Gibbons, James
Durrell and Graeme Craig. I
imagine that there are quite a
few flood stories from last
week.

Since funding is limited at
this point, there will be a
review of applications and
selection of sites based on
how the various projects fit
the goals of the program.
Applications will be accept-
ed up to Feb. 28, or possibly
beyond, depending on interest
and available funding. The
funding applies to appropriate
Audrey Hackwell, Dianne
