Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority

Located in Southern Ontario, the agency focuses on the conservation of the drainage basins of the Ausable River, Bayfield River, Parkhill Creek, and Gullies (Bayfield North and South Gullies) watersheds.

Hay Swamp Management Area is administered by the agency.

This community group included local farmers; residents of rural, urban, and lakeshore communities in the watershed; municipalities; public health; youth; and other stakeholders.

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority developed "The Path Forward: Your Community Conservation Strategy for Ausable Bayfield Watersheds".

[1] The Conservation Strategy was adopted by the Board of Directors of ABCA on December 15, 2011, and the document was published and released to the public in March 2012.
