Watershed Monitoring Project

This program facilitates watershed restoration by gathering the environmental data necessary to secure grant funding.

 

By combining advanced technology with rigorous technical standards and expert field collection, we aim to improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and mitigate flooding.

 

Funded by the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association (OCGA), the initiative also works to expand public recreational access to local waterways.
