The Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation (GSCF) is a registered Canadian charity that offers the public the opportunity, through donations, to help conserve our natural heritage through support of the programs and activities of Grey Sauble Conservation Authority.
Invested with, and maintained by, the Community Foundation Grey Bruce, this fund is designed to build a Capital Fund, in perpetuity, through solicited donations and contributions. Annual income is designated, annually, to the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority, for its purposes and projects, as determined by GSCA.
To receive and distribute funds for current projects on properties owned or managed by the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority. Land conservation projects could include, but not limited to trail maintenance, lookout platforms, boardwalks and other capital projects. Water conservation projects could include, but not limited to, water quality and quantity monitoring, and improving habitat diversity. Interest earned is allocated to the Foundation operating fund.
This fund receives and distributes funds for environmental awareness and education projects of the Foundation and the Authority. Projects could include, but not limited to, Trees for Schools, White Water awareness, signage, publications, and brochures. Interest earned is allocated to the Foundation operating fund.
The Foundation annually presents the $2,000 Malcolm Kirk Award to a student from the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority watershed to encourage post-secondary education in environmental programs. In addition, a $200 award is granted to one student from each of the secondary schools in the GSCA watershed who demonstrates positive environmental ethics.
Funds from tree purchases and donations will be used to maintain and improve the 3 Memorial Forest Sites located at Big Mud Lake (Wiarton), Pottawatomi (Owen Sound) and Griersville (Meaford).
As the Memorial Forest sites are nearing capacity, donations are encouraged to help the GSCF acquire and develop new forest sites throughout the watershed.
This is a network of business and community leaders, each of whom recognize the importance of Conserving our Natural Heritage. They accept a role in supporting the Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation in its efforts to raise funds in support of the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority, its policies and activities that protect natural habitats, and its efforts to enhance biodiversity and environmental awareness.
