Conservation Authorities have a long history of working with landowners, farmers and municipalities in a mutually acceptable and respectful way and that is not going to change. We all need to work together to protect our water. Conservation Authorities already collect data, carry out studies, map resources and monitor the state of our watersheds daily.

Conservation Authority staff do not enter onto private property without permission and will continue to seek permission of property owners prior to entering their land to monitor etc. Power of entry on private property will only be used when absolutely needed.
