Wetlands project propagating past Perimeter
An environmental stewardship project that was piloted in East St. Paul is set to spread next door to the R.M. of Springfield. In July 2021, IISD researchers built and planted 10 floating wetlands in two stormwater retention ponds in East St. Paul, with the aim of improving water quality and removing harmful pollutants from the water—the first project of its kind in Manitoba.
