Plan to restore Hillman Marsh under development

The Essex Region Conservation Authority is developing a plan to restore the Hillman Marsh Conservation Area.

As part of the planning process, it wants to hear from residents and stakeholders.

The authority is concerned about erosion causing the beach and marsh to disappear.

It says the loss of the beach could compromise surrounding homes, farms, and businesses.

The public is invited to hear more about the effort to save the marsh and provide input at two public meetings. The open-house meetings will be held October 3 and October 10 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre in Leamington.

All are welcome to attend and preregistration is encouraged at http://tinyurl.com/HMCA1.
