8-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 23rd, 1978 Stream improvement pro ject part of conservation plan ject for the Auithority points out that rip wrapping, using stone laid along the bank, gives a more natural look than through the use of gabien baskets. It also, he said, provides better habitat for fish in the stream along with the fact that vegetation will eventually grow around and over the stones providing further wildlife habitat. The cost of the project is expected to amount to around $800.00 of which amount the Authority wiil pay seventy- five percent of the cost as well as making availabie the Experience '78 students and the Junior Rangers through the courtesy of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Mr. New- eli points out that the cost of the projeet is greatiy reduced through the use- of this summer labour ail provided by the Ministry through make-work programs. Bill Newell explained that the Authority was now in the process of planningtseventeen individual projectsI of which four were for erosion control along streams in the area. The nther projecis include shrub and tree rpanting to provide wildiife food and habitat. These lattýr projeets will be carried out in the spring. He said his depart- ment was ready to accept more such projects for 1979. The Authority does becomne involved in such projeets as erosion control up to a maximum cost of $1000 or $500 for projects improving wiidiife habitat and food suppiy. Neweii points out this is a good deai for the property owner while at the samne tîmne the Authority is providing a worthwhile service towards conservation both of an edu- cational nature and practical nature.

This program centres on improvements to the enivironinent inciuding stream improvements, eros- ion control stream bank stabilization, improvement to wildiife habitat and shrub and tree planting. It is a co-oper- ative prograin wîth individual land owners. One such program, a bank stabilization project, was completed iast week aiong the Orono creek just south of the milI pond spiilway on the Dick Woudstra property. Mr. Woudstra wishing to imiprove the condition of the stream running through his property entered into an agreement with the Ganar- aska Conservation Authority. At this point the Authority pianned the project and wîth these plans approved by both the owner and the Authority undertook to have the work completed. Through the use of Exper- lence '78 students, now in the employment of the Authority the stream and bank area of the stream was cleaned of al the stream. It also places a buffer under the stone to reduce undermining of the stones. il pro ject« litter, and brush which had been placed along the bank. With the arrivai -of quarry stone from Acton the Junior Rangers who reside at the Ganaraska Forest Centre for the summer were brought into play with the work being supervised by the Athority staff. The Junior Rangers completed the preparation of the bank, placed a filter mat along the bank, fitted stones in place and completed the project with some sodding. The owner at a latter date wil plant some shrubs and trees in the particular area. The bank stabilization is being undertaken at the Woudstra location through the-use of rip wrapping.
