"The committee asked the community to provide more meaningful names for these creeks, or to let us know what they have been calling the creeks that run through their property," said Hope Brock, Healthy Watersheds Technician with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA).

CONCERT SERIES cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeekl21ssue37/tabid/287/Default.aspx 2/12 5/27/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 12 Issue 37 All of the new names can be viewed in the Management Plan for the Bayfield North Watersheds, which will be available online at abca.on.ca, in the Bayfield and Clinton public libraries, and at the launch of the management plan on March 20 at the Schilbe Sugar Shack. The BNWAC has accepted these names for their use but to be officially recognized, the names must be submitted with an application, for consideration, to the Ontario Geographic Names Board. Once they review these applications, that board will make the final decision on whether the proposed names can be accepted or not. The Bayfield North Watersheds is a 40 -square -kilometre area, just north of Bayfield, which is home to 20 small creeks that flow directly into Lake Huron. These creeks had been assigned such bland scientific names as 'Creek G039,' as part of the Bayfield North Watersheds Management Plan. These alphanumeric names likely didn't mean much to people. The committee hopes the new names will enhance the sense of ownership area residents already feel towards their local creeks. The BNWAC would like to thank all of those who submitted creek names. "We're hoping that this contest has brought more awareness to the creeks in the area north of Bayfield, and that the community feels a greater sense of ownership for these natural features," said Brock. For more information on the Name Your Creek contest results or the Bayfield North Watersheds Management Plan, please contact Hope Brock at the ABCA at 519-235-2610 or 1- 888-286-2610 or hbrock@abca.on.ca. VILLAGE TREES TO BE SHOWN SOME TLC A local group is standing tall with the trees in the community. The Bayfield Tree Inventory and Renewal Project is an initiative born out of the concern of local residents about the status of trees in the village. The intention of the group is to engage the community in a plan to restore Bayfield's trees through a collaborative effort involving community groups, interested individuals and government partners. They envision a process involving, first, an inventory to assess the number, type and health of the existing trees in the village. Second, on the basis of the inventory results, they hope to create a plan for replacing dead and dying trees with species appropriate to soil and moisture conditions. Third, they would like to develop a plan for planting new trees in areas of the village where there are few. Their goal is to produce a sustainable plan of tree care and renewal and to secure the necessary funding to restore the village's beautiful community forest. For more information on The Bayfield Tree Inventory and Renewal Project please email Sondra Buchner at tsbuchland@tcc.on.ca or by phone at 519 565-2518.

Yes, I caught a chest cold just in time for the March Break holiday, my first, hopefully only, bout of cough for 2010. Thankfully Bayfield Breeze Web Publisher, Dennis Pal, agreed to check out the Bayfield Optimist Chili Cook -Off and Family Fun Day for me on Sunday. As I was curled up napping on the couch he was having all the fun snapping photos of a clown painting faces and local folk sampling some fine batches of chili. I'm sorry I couldn't attend but was very relieved that we didn't miss out on this event for our photo story. Come to think of it, I should've asked him to bring me over a sampling of the hottest batch of chili served at the event — it may have worked as a good cold remedy. Oh well, guess I will have to settle for my hubby's fabulous chicken soup. Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
