Landowner Guide – Trout River Environmental Committee

There is a wealth of information in this guide!

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.

Thanks to Chris Ortenburger for sharing this article in her Citizens’ Alliance newsletter this morning, along with these comments: “There is so much in that interview that brings up more questions for the Minister and Premier: must all land be in “production”? where is good Land Use Planning? (notice that may not be the same as Where is the Land Use Plan? ;-) where is the IRAC report on the Kings County land holdings that former Environment and former Lands and Community minister Stephen Myers set in motion? Why can’t the Land Department keep track of land? Why have IRAC in charge of this when her government has announced it is set to break up IRAC and there will certainly be a lot of transition? And things not addressed here: What about non-profit land protection organizations like Island Nature Trust? (this has been addressed elsewhere with a wave of the hand, but it would be good if the minister recognised this clearly) Why are agriculture giants not addressed, but non-profits? How easy will it be to work around this law? Have they thought that far in the future? This also feels like a use of *a lot* of government legislative writing time that could be spent on other promised legislation
