Stabilized Fording Sites
Since crop and pasture lands often straddle watercourses, providing safe crossings for livestock and equipment with reduced potential for negative water quality effects is critical. Additionally, watering livestock at rivers is often the only practical option for agricultural producers. The KWRC has used stable fording sites as both watering locations for livestock as well as crossings for farm equipment. The approaches are properly aligned and hardened, and the stream bottom is stabilized with hard rock to prevent erosion and rutting. Since 1994 the KWRC has installed 85 stabilized fording sites in the watershed.
Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee
Worth Wading Into
Our Committee and Partners
The actions of the KWRC are guided by a Committee of stakeholders composed of representatives from various provincial and federal departments, municipalities of the area, and local interest groups. These stakeholders have been planning, securing funding for, and implementing restoration activities and other projects within the Kennebecasis Watershed since 1994.
The important restoration, monitoring and education outreach work we undertake in the Kennebecasis Watershed could not be possible without the financial and in-kind contributions of the following groups and organizations:
