Ecological Goods & Services
Nature supplies crucial goods and services that sustain our life, including clean air, drinking water, and opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking and fishing. All these are examples of Ecological Goods and Services – benefits provided to people by forests, wetlands, soils, plants and animals in the Credit River Watershed.
Recognizing the importance of protecting and restoring these valuable benefits, CVC has initiated a long-term initiative on estimating the value of natural benefits in the Credit River Watershed. The purpose of this project is to bring awareness to the importance of natural features to human well-being and to assist in making better-informed policy- and land-use decisions in the future.
