Agriculture Runoff
This collaborative group within the Priority Place is dedicated to keeping our water clean by mitigating excessive nutrient runoff into coastal wetlands and Lake Erie.
Group priorities include:
- Restoring land with new natural features, such as suitable wildlife habitats.
- Preserving drain corridors through modified practices.
- Promoting best management practices (BMPs) to landowners.
- Increasing the number of hectares planted with cover crops.
Partner organizations involved in this initiative include ALUS (Alternative Land Use Services) Norfolk, Canadian Wildlife Service, Long Point Region Conservation Authority, Norfolk County Drainage Services, and Carolinian Canada.
