Canada approves Ausable River Action Plan

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.
Watershed Report Card
Report cards are based on forest, surface water quality, and groundwater quality conditions in 16 subwatersheds in watersheds of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) area. These include three Bayfield River subwatersheds, eight Ausable River subwatersheds, two Parkhill Creek subwatersheds, Mud Creek, and two smaller Lake Huron subwatersheds.
Watershed Report Cards tell you about your watershed - where more work is needed and where work has been achieving positive results.
