The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation is seeking support to help more young people attend nature day camps.
The foundation is seeking donations toward sponsorships for summer nature day camps for young people who might not be able to take part otherwise. The camps offer youth a chance to take part in fun physical activities and make new friends. Participants will learn about the natural environment and the importance of protecting our water, soil, and natural habitats.
Foundation Chair Charles Miner said people can make a real difference with their donations. He added that Giving Tuesday Canada is Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Miner said the world's largest generosity movement is the ideal time to keep the foundation in mind.
“By donating on Giving Tuesday, you can provide a child the opportunity, at the nature camps provided by Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, to have a fun, positive outdoor learning experience that they otherwise would not be able to have,” he added. “We appreciate all donations,” he said. “Local conservation programs need support all year long, but by donating during Giving Tuesday, you can be part of this global movement and make a real difference in the lives of young people.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron (BBBSSH) is partnering with ABCF and Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) to bring the nature day camp experience to more youth.
“Children and youth involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron have greatly enjoyed the summer nature day camps they have participated in over the past years through the ABCA,” said Executive Director Amy Wilhelm. “We extend our sincere thanks to the Conservation Foundation and its generous donors for choosing to support BBBSSH and helping to make it possible for even more local children and youth to experience this opportunity in the coming year.”
