soilStewardship Grey Bruce is proud to announce the 2019 Soil & Water Stewardship Program. This program will fund water quality stewardship projects in all of Bruce and Grey counties, south of Owen Sound.

The Soil & Water Stewardship Program consists of four project streams; Seed Reimbursement, Soil Testing, Organic Amendments and Project Partnership.

The Seed Stream covers 100% of seed costs for water quality stewardship projects, such as cover crops, buffer plantings and grassed waterways - up to $1000 per applicant. The Soil Testing and Organic Amendments streams cover 50% of your invoiced costs – again, up to $1000 per applicant. Should a project incur additional costs, applicants are invited to apply to the project partnership stream. All streams’ registrations will be approved on a first-come, first-served basis until the program is at capacity.

Registrations are due March 15th, 2019

Eligibility is a process that is initialized after an applicant has registered. Participants are required to attend and tweet about 3 approved soil health workshops, demonstration sites or meet a mentor, using the hashtag #GBSteward. After this, they will be contacted regarding the successful completion of their eligibility process and will attend the Soil & Water Steward Awards (date: TBD), where they will bring a picture of their finished project and paid receipt to receive their reimbursement.

Eligibility processes are due: August 1st, 2019

Applications are available via online form, for download or available for pick up at the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority office in Formosa.
