NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
*************************
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) is looking for input on a new conservation areas strategy.
Those interested in the future of NVCA conservation lands can have their voices heard by completing an online survey.
NVCA manages 5,240 hectares of mostly environmentally sensitive areas within the watershed. On those lands, NVCA operates 11 active conservation areas that provide recreational opportunities, and environmental education programming while also balancing protection of environmentally significant features.
NVCA’s conservation lands portfolio also includes properties that are undeveloped natural areas and properties that are managed for flood control. NVCA works with community partners, volunteers, municipalities and public agencies to maintain these conservation lands.
The conservation areas strategy will outline current uses on NVCA conservation lands and develop a framework for long-term decision-making processes to support the management of NVCA’s conservation areas.
Have your say. Visit nvca.on.ca/public-consultations to review the draft objectives and complete the survey. Feedback must be submitted by Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024.
The Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 686/21 requires all conservation authorities to complete a conservation areas strategy by Dec. 31, 2024.
