GRCA to host land stewardship workshops in June

The Grand River Conservation Authority will be hosting two free workshops in June in Brant and Haldimand counties for rural landowners with properties larger than 2. 5 acres.

The workshops will take place on:

• Wednesday, June 12, 2019 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at App’s Mill Nature Centre (308 Robinson Road, Brantford ON)
• Thursday, June 13, 2019 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Ruthven Park National Historic Site (243 Haldimand County Hwy 54, Cayuga ON)

Attendees will work through the Rural Landowner Stewardship Guide and learn about the role landowners and their properties play in the watershed. Topics include tree planting, invasive species management, living with wildlife and working with the natural ecosystems on your property.

Participation is free and a copy of the Rural Landowner Stewardship Guide will be provided to participants. To register, please email ruralwater@grandriver.ca or call 519-621-2763, extension 2278.
