Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation are among the groups receiving provincial funding for projects to help protect, conserve and restore the Great Lakes.
The projects are led by community groups, not-for-profits, conservation authorities, universities and Indigenous organizations and communities across the province and support commitments in the Canada-Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality and Ecosystem Health and Ontario’s Great Lakes Strategy.
The project will also monitor and maintain the area’s water quality, and fish and wildlife habitat while identifying emerging threats such as invasive species and climate change. Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority received $65,000 to work with area farmers to reduce excess nutrients from agricultural lands.
