The Region of Peel, in partnership with Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA), have developed the Peel Rural Water Quality Program (PRWQP) to support agricultural landowners as they try to make a better connection between agriculture, rural land use and the environment.
This program was developed with input from local farmers and residents as well as representatives from the Peel Federation of Agriculture and the Peel Soil and Crop Improvement Association.
The program provides technical and financial resources to qualified rural landowners to continue their efforts as environmental stewards.
What projects are eligible for funding?
The following is a list of projects that are eligible for funding. The list is not exclusive. If you have a project that is not on this list, contact conservation authority staff, you may still be eligible for funding as well as technical support. Well capping is available directly through the Region of Peel for all rural landowners. A 100% grant rate will apply.
