Our
focus
The focus of the Centre for Land and Water Stewardship is to support
research, extension and teaching related to sustainable use of land and
water resources. At present we have a particular emphasis on the impacts
of agricultural practices, including nutrient
management, on water quality, and an emphasis on the conservation of
natural areas by private landowners. These are reflected in the research
and extension programs of the two principal faculty involved.
The Centre grew out of the former Centre for Soil and Water Conservation,
established at the University in the mid 1980's.
