ALUS Defiance is working to enhance soil health, improve water quality, and restore wildlife habitats in Northwest Ohio. By partnering with local farmers and ranchers, the program promotes using nature-based solutions that address environmental challenges while maintaining productive farmland. ALUS Defiance will serve a vital role by implementing sustainable agricultural practices and supporting conservation initiatives. Through collaboration and innovation, ALUS Defiance helps create a healthier, more resilient landscape for future generations. By restoring natural ecosystems and improving land stewardship, this initiative ensures long-term environmental benefits for both the local community and the broader watershed.
