Showcasing ECWP project sites on the @elginstewards annual summer tour! Reach out to discuss BMP projects you can undertake on your property and the funding available to support implementation. #ontag #elgincounty #elginstewardship
Reach out to your local CA to help with planning erosion control projects on your farm. 50% funding up to $4,000 is available through Elgin Clean Water Program. Funding is also available for wetland creation, tallgrass prairie establishment & well decommissioning. #ontag #elgin
Erosion control projects are one of the landowner services that LPRCA offers to landowners in our watershed. If you want to learn more, visit, lprca.on.ca/forestry-stewa… or contact our Lands & Waters Supervisor, Paul Gagnon, by email at [email protected] #erosioncontrol #lprca
2023 Year in Review: 💸 $67,654 in funding provided to landowners 🐸 10 wetlands created 🚰 2 wellheads upgraded 🚜 3 erosion control projects 🐄 1 livestock low flow crossing installed 🌻 3 tallgrass prairie/tree planting projects 🌱 436 acres of cover crops planted
Trees are often referred to as “the lungs of our planet” but have you considered that wetlands act as the kidneys too? They filter excess nutrients, sediment, and pollutants to help keep our watersheds healthy! #RestoreWetlands #WorldWetlandsDay
1.5 acre wetland project💧wetlands will improve water quality the flowing water will reach 100m before it reaches Kettle Creek, result in habitat for turtles outside Port Stanley 🐢 🙌 Partners: Ducks Unlimited, Elgin Stewardship Counsel, Elgin Clean Water Program, EcoAction, WWF

#DYK funding is available for wetland creation projects? This project was completed in 2022 with funding support from @ElginCleanWater, @DucksUnlimited and @OMAFRA. Two acres of marginal farmland was retired to create a wetland in an area of the field that was seasonally wet.
Another exciting event coming up: "Decision-Making Around BMPs" w/ Tracey Ryan from @OntarioSoilCrop Mar. 8 @ 1230pm. You will hear directly from producers about their decision-making when it comes to implementing BMPs into operations. Register: bit.ly/3I5MEOR #ontag
#DYK Over the last 5 years 22 wetland projects were implemented in our watershed? Wetlands help improve water quality by slowing down water across the landscape and trapping sediment and providing important wildlife habitat. #WorldWetlandsDay #GenerationRestoration #ForWetlands
Contact your local Conservation Authority about Spring 2023 tree planting! #ontag #elgincounty #treeplanting
