Stewardship Excellence for Lakes – The New Blue Lakes Pilot Project

January 10, 2019 Leave a Comment

Thanks to a seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, The Land Between in partnership with Watersheds Canada will launch a pilot project to understand the benefits of a new eco-label. The Blue Lakes project delivers an eco-label that will be awarded to lakes that voluntarily undertake stewardship actions. This pilot project is being tailored, launched, and evaluated to see if we can transfer the model across Ontario and beyond. The project has a great team of supporters who are helping to design and implement the label of 20 lake associations, and Trent University and University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

If you want to be part of the pilot project, get in touch with us by emailing Leora at info@thelandbetween.ca

Also, find out more by visiting the project website: www.bluelakes.ca
