other natural resources in the Mississippi River watershed.
A watershed is the area of land that drains into a waterbody. Located in eastern Ontario, the Mississippi Valley watershed covers an area of 4,450 km2. Using an integrated watershed management approach, the conservation authority works with stakeholders in the watershed to balance the needs of the community MVC owns and operates three conservation areas in the watershed, the Mill of Kintail, Morris Island and Purdon. Conservation areas are recreational and educational MVC was established in May of 1968 and operates under the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario. Conservation Authorities were created to bridge the gap between municipalities wholly or in part of the watershed boundary. This approach to watershed management ensures that the needs of all stakeholders are represented. MVC is Watershed Conditions
