To make naturalizations easier, The Natural Edge guides landowners through every step of the process, from planning to planting. It empowers property owners to restore their shoreline, protect their water quality, and create habitat for wildlife and pollinators using native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers as a nature-based solution.

The Natural Edge was developed by Watersheds Canada and is delivered in many provinces across Canada by trained regional delivery partners. If you are not located in Eastern Ontario where Watersheds Canada delivers, you may still be eligible for the program.
