Making a Difference – One Stream at a Time

The Community Stream Steward Program (CSSP) is a multi-partner conservation and stewardship initiative hosted by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. With the aim of engaging landowners and communities, the program works to build a network of leaders in stream conservation, restoration, and stewardship across Ontario. The program provides these landowners and community members with the advice, support, and tools required to conduct coordinated stewardship activities along stream reaches within their neighbourhoods.

We can provide:

  • Site visits and project planning for landowners
  • Stream assessments and monitoring
  • Presentations and resources for local events
  • Stream restoration and rehabilitation advice
  • Support for local community conservation efforts
  • Stream Steward Training - creating leaders in stream conservation
In 2011, we were recognized by the Minister’s Award for Environmental Excellence – read more here!
