Area residents are getting the chance to learn more about Chatham-Kent’s ecosystem.
The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority is hosting its 4th annual Cultivating Conservation Tour on September 11th, celebrating the 5th anniversary of Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) Chatham-Kent.
The self-guided tour offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of agriculture and conservation through local project sites dedicated to improving soil and water health, including wetlands, tree planting, erosion control, and cover crops.
