Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) is undertaking a new Strategic Plan for a 10-year period from 2025 - 2035.
What is important to you? Submit your feedback here.
Our staff are experienced, certified and licenced to provide services that benefit you and your property. Check out more information about forestry services, tree orders and our annual tree sale.
GSCA owns and manages 11,734 hectares (28,995 acres) of land throughout its 3,191 square kilometre (1,983 square mile) jurisdiction.
For information on Pavilion Rentals go here.
At the GSCA we believe that time spent in nature has countless benefits for children that will last a lifetime, which is why the program allows campers to be outside exploring the environment around us!
If you are planning on building, changing the existing grade, adding or removing material if you are near a river, stream, lake, shoreline, wetland or slope, you may need a permit for these activities.
The Foundation offers opportunities for the public to actively participate, through volunteering and fundraising, in conserving and enhancing the natural heritage that exists within the Grey Sauble watershed.
GSCA charges fees for various services and programs. These include planning and permit fees, parking fees, mapping and forestry services.
We may have funding available for your farm!
If you're interested in a certain project but are not sure if it qualifies, submit the Stewardship Application Form and our Stewardship Technician will contact you to discuss your plans.
