    Hectares of wetlands

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the amount of wetlands in the County in terms of hectares.

    Why we collect it

    Wetlands offer a wealth of biodiversity and are of the utmost importance in maintaining healthy regional ecosystems. Tracking the amount of wetlands in the region will allow the County of Frontenac to measure the success of its efforts to protect these fragile resources.
