In /kY ' -Hs ■ Wmm During the International Year of Volunteers 2001, Human Resourc- Clarington, stewardship is reflected reflected in improved water quality quality in local streams and creeks, wildlife corridors, management of our community forests, conservation conservation areas and valley lands. But stewardship is more about the people involved in ensuring that these areas are protected and enhanced for future generations. Fortunately Clarington has a number number of volunteer groups and agencies involved in stewardship stewardship activities. Since 2002 Council has allocated funds to assist groups with stewardship projects on municipal lands. Examples of these projects are: • Plantings in the Bowmanville valley along the pathway from Spry Avenue north. • Creek crossing in Bowmanville valley in partnership with Valleys.2000 and Courtice Secondary School students. • Boardwalk behind Courtice Complex in partnership with Courtice Secondary School students. Plantings in Soper Creek valley along the pathway from- Visual Arts Centre north to Hobbs Avenue, in partnership partnership with Valleys 2000 and Bowmanville High School students. students. All of these stewardship activities are on municipally owned properties, have in-kind contributions (labour and/ or materials) and meet the overall concept plan for the area. It has taken time to build awareness that funding is available for stewardship projects op municipal properties. properties. Stewardship of our municipally owned natural areas is something that we are very interested in expanding. For non-municipal stewardship projects staff will direct individuals individuals or groups to stewardship programs provided by other agencies. To help with the development of a larger volunteer base and assist the existing groups in developing their stewardship stewardship goals, the Municipality will be hosting a workshop in early February. This workshop will be delivered by Evergreen a,national non-profit environmental organization organization with a mandate to bring nature to our cities through' naturalization projects. Evergreen motivates people to create and sustain healthy, natural outdoor spaces and gives them the practical tools to be successful their core programs.
