GOOSE POND NUTRIENT FARM RESEARCH PROJECT.

Nutrient Farming is a market-based strategy promoted by The Wetlands Initiative in which riverine wetlands will be restored to provide services that expand from reducing contaminat nutrient loads in rivers, to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions while allowing for regulated fishing and/or hunting activities in the high quality habitat that will be created.
