ABOYNE – The Grand River Conservation Authority is hosting a free workshop, with forestry specialists who will be speaking about ways for landowners to protect and enhance the natural features on their properties.
The event takes place on March 20 from 7 to 9pm at the Wellington County Museum and Archives.
The workshop is geared to rural landowners with properties larger than 2.5 acres. Attendees will work through the Rural Landowner Stewardship Guide and learn about the role landowners and their properties play in the watershed.
Topics include tree planting, invasive species management, living with wildlife and working with the natural ecosystems on your property.
