DYK? Your property may be in a floodplain—even if you’ve never experienced a flood. 🌊 Rain and snowmelt can cause rivers, streams, and lakes to overflow onto surrounding lands. Conservation Authorities use floodplain mapping to inform safe development and reduce flood risks.

Fall leaves are beautiful, but can have a big impact on your watershed.🍂 Help prevent flooding by keeping your street's storm drains clear. Leave a bed of litter in your garden to support overwintering insects.🪲 Do your part this fall as a conservation steward!
