In December 2001, the Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources and Conservation Ontario formed a partnership to develop a series of watershed-based pilot projects. Phase I, completed in 2003, included six pilot projects that focused on new and innovative approaches to watershed stewardship. Phase II, completed in 2005, included four pilot projects that focused on objectives to develop, implement and demonstrate place-based environmental management approaches for the anticipated watershed-based drinking water source protection that will be undertaken in Ontario.

We appreciate your feedback on these projects.
Please see our evaluation form to provide your comments/feedback.
