Stewardship for Healthy Watersheds
Watershed stewardship is caring for our water, land and biodiversity on a watershed basis recognizing that everything is connected in a watershed and is affected by natural and human activities. Whatever happens upstream in a watershed affects conditions downstream.
Balancing human and economic requirements against the needs of the natural environment means that we need to plan, promote and implement stewardship practices that restore and protect natural resources.
Private landowners play a key role in ensuring that we have healthy watersheds now and for the future. How we treat our land today impacts not just ourselves, but also our neighbours and future generations.
