    Spencer Creek Conservation Authority Schemes and Land Acquisition (1958-1971)

    LAND FOR CONSERVATION LAND FOR CONSERVATION: SPENCER CREEK CONSERVATION AUTHORITY SCHEMES AND LAND ACQUISITION (1958-1971) By WAYNE TERRYBERRY, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Wayne Terryberry, December 2016 McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2016) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: Land for Conservation – Spencer Creek Conservation Authority Schemes and Land Acquisition AUTHOR: Wayne Terryberry B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. John Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: 211 ABSTRACT The Conservation Authorities Act was passed by the Ontario Provincial legislature in 1946 to further the “conservation, restoration, development and development of natural resources other than gas, oil, coal and minerals.” On 8 May 1958, Ontario’s 25th conservation authority was established on the watershed of Spencer Creek near Hamilton. The Spencer Creek Conservation Authority (SCCA) recognized that in order to acquire the necessary lands for conservation it was in a race with developers and urban sprawl. An aggressive land acquisition programme was initiated by the SCCA (1958-1966) and continued by its successor, the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority. The success of this programme from 1958-1971 created a green framework for the region, with many of our most popular and ecological important conservation areas acquired during this period, including: Dundas Valley, Christie Lake, Valens, Spencer Gorge, Beverly Swamp, and Summit Bog. However, acquisition of such a vast acreage of conservation land doesn't just happen by desire, it involves many operational factors. Available funding, administrative policies, land owner engagement, knowledge of the property market, and public and political support were all central aspects of this land acquisition program.

    Greater DetroitAmericanHeritageRiverInitiativeandPartners Best ManagementPracticesfor Based onaBinationalConferenceSponsoredbythe of Shorelines 2.0.0.0 Our tie to history. Our tie to prosperity. Our tie to each other. Greater Detroit American Heritage River Initiative The Detroit River was designated as an American Heritage River by President Clinton in July 1998. In Greater Detroit, a multi-stakeholder, action-oriented approach is used to select and implement projects intended to enhance the environmental, economic development, and historic/cultural potential of the 32-mile Detroit riverfront. Program oversight is provided by an Executive Committee composed of: • Mr. Peter Stroh, Director of The Stroh Companies, Inc. and Chairman of the Executive Committee; • Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer (Alternate: Ms. Nettie Seabrooks, Chief of Staff to Mayor Archer); • Wayne County Executive Edward McNamara (Alternate: Mr. Dewitt Henry, Assistant County Executive); and • Supervisor W. Curt Boller, Supervisor of Brownstown Township and member of the Downriver Community Conference. A steering committee, chaired by Mr. Mark Breederland of Michigan Sea Grant, and composed of governmental, business, community, and environ- mental representatives provides advice on project activities to the Executive Committee. Efforts are also coordinated with Canada since the Detroit River is an international boundary. Metropolitan Affairs Coalition (MAC), a public-private partnership of business, labor, and governmental leaders that facilitates solutions to regional issues affecting Southeast Michigan, serves as the project manager and facilitator of the Greater Detroit American Heritage River Initiative. Dr. John Hartig is the initiative’s River Navigator. Dr. Hartig is a federal employee who works with communities to help identify resources to implement high-priority projects. Support for the River Navigator position comes from U.S.
