Landowner Guide – Introduction
Did you know that there are three types of water filter that can remove different contaminants from your drinking water? That you can get improvement work done on your woodlot at little or no cost to you? That bats sometimes hibernate in abandoned wells on PEI? How to get trees, and people to plant them for you? That by delaying hay cutting until July you could be saving rare birds? That there is a program to pay landowners to retire environmentally sensitive land while still allowing livestock on it? How to get nuisance beavers removed? How to get substantial Provincial and Federal rebates for heat pumps? That there is an app to report invasive plants? What you are allowed to do (and not do) in a buffer zone? That watershed groups employ dozens of students each summer? This guide contains a wealth of information on our environment and what you can do to help, and the programs and services out there to help you. It is a living document, so we will be updating it on a regular basis.
We gratefully acknowledge that much of the work on this guide was funded by the PEI Wildlife Conservation Fund.
