Intendance environnementale Ontario est un programme du ministère des Richesses naturelles qui vise à protéger et à restaurer les ressources naturelles de l'Ontario avec l'appui et la participation des collectivités. Ce programme n'a rien à voir avec Stewardship Ontario qui est unorganisme administrant des programmes de recyclage. Pour se renseigner sur les programmes de recyclage de Stewardship Ontario, voir www.stewardshipontario.ca.

The Essex County Stewardship Network is busy working throughout the county as part of the Ministry of Natural Resources Ontario Stewardship Program.

The council completed the undertaking of a Strategic Plan. This process will allow the council to identify our strengths and direct them in the best manner to help out the local Community. We used Kayak Consulting to assist with the process. Follow this LINK to the plan.

The Wheatley Harbour Area of Concern delisted this past. The Wheatley Harbour Implementation Team has worked hard over the past few years to realize this goal!

We are assisting many landowners with their habitat projects across the county. To help us assist you with your project ideas, please download the Stewardship Planning Guide and fill in the pull out sheets. This document will form the basis of the project plans and will ensure that the landowners and ECSN are working towards the same goals.

ECSN staff are now working finalizing the last few details for our 2010-11 funding applications. Due to the downturn in the economy we did notice a decline in some of our sources; however we still had a good year accessing money for landowner projects. These new projects will start shortly and we'll be out working with landonwers for projects for next year. Funding programs for 2011-12 start accepting applications in late fall and over the winter.

The ECSN is looking at corridor connections to maximize the resources available to connect Essex County's diverse habitats. There are all kinds of different ideas: what would you like to see?
