Call first when considering work in regulated area
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority says people can save time, avoid unnecessary costs by talking to staff first about plans in regulated areas.
Capturing carbon at Footprints to Forests
Local conservation authorities have planted thousands of trees, since 2014, to capture hundreds of tonnes of greenhouse gases, thanks to donations to the Carbon Footprints to Forests program.
Shoreline Management
There is now a new, updated Shoreline Management Plan for the Lake Huron shoreline within the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority's area. The Board of Directors approved the plan at the board meeting on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019.
Jones Bridge
You made your community safer, more active with support of Jones Bridge, the pedestrian bridge on South Huron Trail. Thanks to generous donations, the community has reached the capital goal of more than $300,000. Legacy fund donations are still welcome.
