For Immediate Release
Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation Awards 2022 Scholarship
The Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation awards an annual $2000 scholarship to a graduating secondary school student entering a post-secondary program in an environmental or resource management related field. The scholarship is named in honour of Malcolm Kirk, who passed away in 2012. Mr. Kirk was instrumental in acquiring a substantial portion of the lands that Grey Sauble Conservation Authority owns and manages today.
This year, the recipient of the Malcolm Kirk Environmental Scholarship is Darryl Blair, a student from St. Mary’s Highschool in Owen Sound who will be pursuing post-secondary education in Environmental Engineering at the University of Guelph.
We will be conducting a forest harvest operation at Hepworth Management Area (Sawmill Nordic Centre), which is scheduled to begin in early August and will be completed by ski season. Due to safety concerns, this property will be closed to the public starting on August 1, 2022.
Forest plantations, like those at Hepworth Management Area, are established and managed on GSCA lands to achieve a variety of goals, such as to increase forest cover, create wildlife habitat, protect soil and water resources, and produce wood products that we use every day.
