Landowners Discuss Stewardship Projects in Two New Videos

UTRCA Stewardship Services have released two new videos showcasing the various benefits of constructed wetlands and field windbreaks across the agricultural landscape.

Constructed Wetlands as Green Infrastructure

UTRCA partnered with Ducks Unlimited Canada and the landowner to promote the creation of more constructed wetlands. This video highlights two constructed wetland designs in the Upper Thames River watershed and the role of wetlands in mitigating flooding and improving rural water quality.

Planting for the Future: The Long-term Economic and Environmental Benefits of Windbreaks

UTRCA staff are working with local landowners to investigate the economic and environmental benefits of windbreaks in rural areas. These benefits include increased crop yields, improved soil health, and reduced soil erosion.

These Projects are funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
