Carr, Allen Terry
Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, v8 n4 p4-10 Jul-Aug 1996
Recounts the growth of Conservation Authorities in Ontario from the first partnerships between schools and conservation in the 1950s, to the opening of a pioneer village, flood control dam, nature trails, and residential conservation education centers through the 1960s and 1970s. Increased public environmental concern sparked more growth in the 1980s. Postscript describes financial cutbacks in the 1990s. (TD)
