WLEB Presents: Performance-Based Conservation Adoption

Description

Learn about the new performance-based conservation program aimed at reducing nutrient loads into the Western Lake Erie Basin.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Western Lake Erie Basin continue to threaten water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and local economies—driven in part by excess phosphorus runoff. Traditional conservation programs have struggled to deliver the reductions needed, which is why a bold new approach is on the horizon.

Join us to learn about the Performance-Based Conservation Adoption Program, an innovative pay-for-performance initiative launching in 2026. This program rewards farmers and land managers based on measurable phosphorus reductions, using advanced watershed modeling tools like SWAT to calculate environmental benefits. In this webinar, you’ll discover how the program works, why it’s a cost-effective method to reduce phosphorus loads, and how you can get involved to help secure a cleaner, healthier Lake Erie.
