Stacey Meadow
An Environmentally Interpretive Area
Developed in recognition of
ALAN G. STACEY
A committed environmentalist and teacher, Alan Stacey helped establish the Student’s Park Fund in 1971, raising more than $60,000 over the next 10 years to aquire 122 hectares of threatened natural area in the Dundas Valley. His love for the environment led him to the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority where he served with dedication and enthusiasm for twenty-five years, from 1973 to 1998. In 1881, he was elected Vice Chairman of the authority and served in that position until 1988. In 1989, he was named Chairman and served for nine years.
During his tenure, the Conservation Authority achieved significant accomplishments, including the opening of Westfield Heritage Village, The Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail, The Fifty-Point Campground, Wild Waterworks’ Eazy River, and the preservation of more than 530 hectares of environmentally significant lands in the City of Hamilton.
