The Conservation Dinner Committee volunteers work together all year for the gala event of the season in Ausable Bayfield watersheds: the Conservation Dinner of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation, the Exeter Lions Club, the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority and the watershed community. 2009 is the 20th Anniversary of the dinner.

This charitable fundraiser includes a live auction of art and memorabilia as well as a silent auction and special and general raffles. In a partnership with donors and patrons, the Conservation Dinner Committee has raised more than half a million dollars for accessible trails, conservation education opportunities, fish stocking and commemorative woods.

Celebrities from the world of entertainment and sports have served as emcees and some of the area's finest artists have been featured.
