The Sydenham Phosphorus Reduction Initiative offers funding and education to landowners interested in implementing or enhancing agricultural best management practices on their properties.
The St. Clair Regional Conservation Authority said best management practices such as windbreaks, cover crops, and wetland restoration play a critical role in reducing phosphorous entering waterways.
It noted these practices can also help to reduce soil erosion, protect water quality, increase crop yields, and potentially decrease the need for fertilizer.
The St. Clair conservation authority includes the Sydenham River.
