New website improves customer service

As part of Earth Month 2018, Essex Region Conservation has launched their new website. With improved functionality and a focus on customer experience, the website now allows teachers to book education programs and customers to submit permit applications online. It also provides enhanced information about trails, conservation areas and amenities. As well, in the face of a changing climate and a higher than normal number of flood watches and advisories, a new tool for public notification has been incorporated. Explore www.essexregionconservation.ca to see all of our new features.
