Welcome to the February Issue of Watershed Watch

Read the latest issue here

As we move into February, we’re excited to share some of the innovative work and research our team has been focusing on to support a healthy and thriving watershed. This month’s issue highlights how we’re leveraging drone technology to identify areas of sediment and erosion control issues on development sites, helping us to address challenges more efficiently and effectively.

We’re also diving into the initial findings from an aquatic thruster pilot project aimed at aquatic plant control. This innovative project has the potential to provide new tools to balance ecosystem health and recreational access to our waterways.

Additionally, the Water Fund is now open for submissions! For more than two decades, this long-standing grant program has supported property owners across urban, rural, agricultural, and waterfront properties in our watershed. If you’re looking to make environmental improvements on your property, the Water Fund might be the perfect opportunity.

As always, we want to hear from you! If there are stories, projects, or topics you’d like to see covered in future issues of Watershed Watch, we’d love to know. Please share your ideas by emailing jchambers@kawarthaconservation.com.

Thank you for being part of the Kawartha Conservation community and for your continued commitment to the health and sustainability of our watershed.

Warm regards,
The Kawartha Conservation Team
