The Ontario government is investing up to $4.5 million to help protect and recover plants and animals that are in danger of disappearing in the province, including nearly $1.9 million in Haldimand and Norfolk over the next few years.

The funding will be provided to non-profit organizations and other groups through the Species at Risk Stewardship Program for on-the-ground projects that help preserve species at risk and their habitat.

In Haldimand Norfolk, 13 projects were approved, including vital multi-year support for some projects.
