MVCA is concerned about soil erosion
BY
CRAIG PIPER
WATER RESOURCES
TECHNICIAN
It is estimated that soil
erosion, defined as "the
removal and transport of
soil particles by water,
wind, ice, or gravity", is
responsible for an
average loss of 63.1 tons
of sediment per day in the
Maitland River water-
shed. This figure in-
creases to a startling
average of 253 tons per
day in the month of April
as a result of spring
runoff.
Although soil erosion is
a natural process, human
activities have greatly
accelerated the process.
Many types of
development act to seal
up the soil surface,
thereby increasing
surface runoff and
erosion. The disturbance
of steep slopes may also
result in a greater than
normal erosion rate. The
removal or lack of
vegetation cover,
whether it results from
urban development, or
farming activities, ex-
poses the soil to the
erosive forces of nature.
The effects of erosion
can be quite severe.
Fertile topsoil necessary
for food production can
be lost at a rate that far
exceeds the rate that soil,
is formed by natural
processes. Erosion may,
result in the siltation of
watercourses which can
decrease the quality of
fish habitat.
The erosion control
assistance program is
oriented towards inland
erosion problems and
stresses practical
solutions or approaches
involving limited costs
and minimal amounts of
.ti.me, labour, equipment -
and maintenance.
Projects- involving
stream and ditchbank
improvement, 'sheet and
rill erosion problems, as
well as the control of
small gullies, may be
eligible for technical and
financialassistance from
the Authority.
A pilon project was
undertaken by the
Conservation Authority.
in 1978 on the farm of Jim
Armstrong, and was used
as an erosion control
demonstration site
during the 1978 Inter-
national Plowing Match.
At the site, a gully was
rehabilitated by grading
and seeding the side -
slopes and installing a
series of check dams in
the gully to reduce water
velocity. Proper drain
outlet erosion control and
a grassed waterway were
also part of the demon-
stration.
Anyone' interested in
financiaLor free technical
assistance with their
erosion. problem is en-
couraged to contact the
Maitland Valley Con-
serv'ation. Authority -at
335-3557.
Inspections of the
Autfiority,'s erosion
control demonstration
site can also be arranged
by contacting the
Authority.
The Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority is
concerned about the..loss
of good agricultural land
by soil erosion. Con-
sequently, an erosion
control assistance
program has been
initiated by . the Con-
servation Authority for
1979 and is being
promoted by the Soil and
Crop Improvement
Association.
Under this program
any private landowner
within the Authority's
area of jurisdiction may
apply for technical and
financial assistance with
an erosion problem.
The Authority will
contribute 50 percent of
an erosion control
project's costs up to a
"maximum of $5,000. The
'actual work may be
.carried out by the
Authority or by the
landowner in consultation
with Authority staff.
The authority will also
offer advice to the lan-
downer on land
management practices in
order to maintain the
condition of erosion
control works and.
prevent further erosion.
PRIVATE
REFORESTATION
ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM
To the early settlers in
Canada the forest must
have appeared vast in-
deed. It would have
seemed incredible to
them' that there might
someday be an actual
shortage of forest
resources.
But in the early days of
settlement, before people
began moving to the
prairies, little thought
was given to the need for
re-establishing the forest
for future requirements,
in those areas from which
the timber had been
stripped.
Many of the areas
which had been denuded
of their timber and found
unsuited for agriculture,
had been left as
wasteland, a prey for soil
ros ion.
The Maitland Valley
Watershed has several
areas of small tracts of
wasteland and -or sub
marginal agricultural
land presently lying idle
and these areas would
reach their greatest
potential in forest cover.
The establishment and
maintenance of forest
cover has several pur-
poses or' benefits which
may be broadly •
described as:: erosion
control, water con- "
servation, • wood
production, recreation
and aesthetic values.
In an attempt to
replenish this natural
resource, .the Maitland
Valley Conservation
Authority in early 1960's,.
initiated a reforestation
-assistan- ee—program. for
private landowners. This
conservation services
program was aimed at
providing reforestation
on soils unsuitable for
agriculture, throughout
source areas, lands which
were subject to poor
drainage, stoniness,
excessive slope, inac-
cessibility, muck soils
and along stream valleys.
It should be pointed out,
that on many farms, even
in better farming areas,
there are smalltracts
which because of steep
slopes, stoniness, inac-
cessibility or poor
drainage, would be more
productive•in tree cover.
In the process of
clearing land for
agriculture, belts of trees
along fencelines had been
rem.ov.ed,.._. which -h-ad
served as natural
shelterbelts. Landowners
have begun to realize the
importance of these
windbreaks. Although the
benefit varies with
topography, soil and
crops planted, in all cases
there is significant
benefit.
Direct benefits include
reduction of soil erosion,

The restoration of these
windbreaks is essential to
a complete conservation
program in many parts of
the watershed.
The• Private
Reforestation Assistance
Program is made
available to any private,
landowner within the
Maitland Watershed.
The Authority offers
under the assistance
program three types of
planting services, which
include hand planting,
machine planting and a
tree planting subsidy.

diseased trees and
necessary thinning;
assure that the plantation

from livestock; assure
that reasonable
measures are taken to
protect the plantation
from fire; permit the
Authority to determine
the time and method of
planting.
The Authority with no
charge to the landowner
will replenish trees if the
survival rate does not
,exceed 70 percent after
the first year of planting.
This will be carried out at
the discretion of the
Authority field staff.
SUBSIDY

provided an inspection
shows planting was done
with sufficient care to
ensure a reasonable
survival.
The Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority's
Private Reforestation
Program continues to
grow asmore and more
landowners realize the
need and importance of
forest cover, In order to
keep up with the recent
demand, the program has
been expanded in an
attempt to provide
assistance to as many
landowners as possible in
any given year.
In order that the
Authority can be of
assistance to you, it is
suggested that you make
your application now to
avoid the annual demand.
