Carolinian Habitat Restoration Initiative...
To encourage farmers to re-establish native woodland communities the RBWRP will offer rural landowners in the Rondeau Bay watershed and adjacent areas native Carolinian trees and shrubs on a buy one get two free basis.
Re-Green Chatham-Kent encourages everyone in the municipality to plant Carolinian trees and shrubs. Those who are ineligible to participate in the Carolinian Habitat Restoration Initiative because they are planting for landscaping purposes or are too far outside of the Rondeau Bay watershed are eligible!
The Take a little Lead Out! program encourages fishermen to exchange their toxic lead fishing sinkers and jigs for free non-toxic bismuth and tin replacements. To date 200 kg of toxic lead has been collected.
