County council received a brief update on how ALUS Lanark did in its second year.
ALUS Lanark supports farmers to create ecosystem projects on their land through cost sharing.
It’s a collaborative effort between the county and both the Mississippi Valley and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s.
Climate Environmental Coordinator Elizabeth Gallant says there was a lot of growth between the programs first and second year.
There’s 12 total ongoing projects over eight properties covering 46 acres of land.
They range from tree planting to wetland restoration and everything in between.
