Co servation four dation completes
successful fundraising pro ect
"A very successful fundraising project."
that's how Ted Jones, a director of the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation
described the receiving of donations for the
purchase of a machine equipped with hand
controls for Rock Glen Conservation Area
Superintendent, Andy Buchan. Because of a
congenital hip, Mr. Buchan's mobility is
limited. The Foundation received donations
from the Exeter and Arkona Lions Clubs,
Huron Tractor Limited and individuals.
CONSERVATION PROJECTS
OF THE FOUNDATION
This project is a prime example of Foun-
dation work. The goal of the Foundation is to
aid the Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority in its conservation endeavours by
continuing and initiating conservation pro-
grams that would not be normally under-
taken by the ABCA because of insufficient
funding.
Past Foundation projects include the An-
nual Conservation Award for the Huron
County Science Fair, Parkhill Waterfowl
Pond and Warm Up ShelterNiewing Plat-
form at Parkhill Conservation Area and co-
sponsoring the Annual Morrison Dam
Fishing Derby.
Not resting on its laurels, the Foundation
adopted new fundraising projects at its
April 21 meeting. Four hundred dollars will
aid in the stocking of the Morrison Dam
Reservoir for the 1988 fishing derby. The
development of trails suitable for
wheelchairs has also been formally ac-
cepted as a project. Wetland acquisition will
be discussed further at future meetings.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
A combination of service clubs, Founda-
tions and individuals are relied upon as
sources of ,inds. "we believe there are a
large nu .i,jer of individuals who are in-
terested in conservation and who wish to
contribute to the effort" says Earl Rees,
Chairman of the ABCF. "By contributing to
the work of the Conservation Foundation,
people can help to ensure that our natural
resources are used wisely now and in the
future. The Foundation is a registered
charitable organization. Donations are tax
deductible."
A popular method of donating funds is in
memory of a friend or relative. Perhaps the
individual was a conservationist and
donating money to be used in conservation
in memory of that individual is appropriate.
To facilitate this, donor cards will soon be
available at local funeral homes.
The Conservation Foundation is excited
about the positive response it has received
from watershed groups and individuals and
hopes to continue to fulfill its important role
in conserving our natural resources.
