Conservation authorities are…

Conservation authorities are very important for caring for their watersheds and the communities within them. Speaking from my own experience, I worked in both amalgamated and non-among conservation authorities. When working in a non-emulated conservation authority we were able to engage community members more frequently and were able to monitor more spaces at a more cohesive rate, whereas working in amalgamated conservation authority, we would have to do 10 hour monitoring days and that didn’t even cover majority of the conservation areas that we had and we weren’t able to frequently engage with the public such as environmental education and it just was not working at the rate that we expected having the same amount of people for one watershed and then using this amount of people for three made the workload, overwhelming and hard to maintain as well as as I said before, when it comes to monitoring, makes it very difficult to reach all the areas that are required.
