This week marked the launch of an exciting three year project for Lower Trent Conservation’s ecological stewardship and conservation lands programs.
The Murray Marsh Natural Habitat Area Restoration Project will consist of over 12,500 trees planted and has 6,500 trees planted so far.
The project will enhance the ecology of Murray Marsh. It will protect the wetlands from agricultural impacts and provide a habitat for a number of wild life species to achieve their natural wildlife cycles.
Murray Marsh is located in the heart of the Lower Trent Conservation watershed region, along the Trent River.
The project is scheduled to be completed by 2021.
