Upper Thames Phosphorus Reduction Program
The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) is excited to offer the Upper Thames Phosphorus Reduction Program to help landowners implement agricultural best management practices (BMPs) that reduce phosphorus runoff, improve water quality in the Thames River and Lake Erie, while also boosting soil health and productivity on farms. We’re offering grants for a wide range of projects, including:
- Cover Crops
- Reduced Tillage
- Subsurface Phosphorus Placement
- Soil Testing and Nutrient Planning
- Erosion Control
- Livestock Watercourse Fencing
- Clean Water Diversion
- Tree Planting
- Innovative Projects
If you already implemented these practices this past fall or plan to do so this year, you’re eligible to apply. For more details or to apply, visit our web page about it here.
