Ausable Bayfield Conservation protects life, property and creates awareness and takes positive action with help of its partners
Protecting life and property and creating awareness and taking positive action can only happen with many partners.
We thank our 12 member municipalities and all the landowners and residents, community groups, all levels of government, funding partners and other partners, who work with us to protect life and property and protect soil, water, and living things for healthier watersheds and healthier communities and healthier people.
There is always the chance we might miss someone when we mention the partners who make the work of Ausable Bayfield Conservation possible. It is almost a certainty we will miss some important groups that support our work. If that is the case, please let us know so we can include you here.
Despite the pitfalls of such recognition, we will attempt to do our best here not only in order to recognize the laandowners, organizations, businesses and individuals who make such worthwhile work happen but to demonstrate how our work is only possible with the support of our many partners.
