MVCA: Put your shoreline to work By Mississippi Valley Conservation Authourity

Jeff Green | Aug 18, 2011

There’s still time to book your shoreline planting project with MVC. Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) staff have already planted more than 100 trees and shrubs on lakefront properties in the watershed this season…and we’re looking for more projects.

Native riparian plantings help provide erosion control, natural water filtration, and create habitats. If your waterfront property needs some TLC, MVC staff will help you with planning, labour, and materials for free. Call Brian Anderson at 613-259-2421 ext. 228 to discuss your shoreline property needs.

Funding for this program was generously provided by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Foundation (MVCF) and the Community Stewardship Council of Lanark County.

This program is part of the integrated approach to watershed management. By supporting a combination of large scale initiatives and community and individual projects MVC works together with watershed stakeholders to manage and protect the health of the Mississippi Valley watershed.

As your local conservation authority, MVC staff members, such as environmental planners, forestry technicians, biologists, engineers, and outdoor educators, are available to answer your questions. Want to know more? Visit www.mvc.on.ca or call 613-259-2421.
