The Norfolk Alternative Land Use Services Pilot Project (ALUS) is a farmer led initiative that recognizes the value of conserving and restoring Canada's natural capital while respecting and rewarding the important role that farmers play in environmental management. ALUS operates on the belief that land use practices employed by Canada's farmers and ranchers are part of the solution to the environmental issues and loss of natural capital facing Canadian society today.

Since ALUS has entered the landscape in Norfolk County, Ontario approximately 450 acres of marginal farm land has been returned to native habitat in partnership with the agricultural community. To learn more about ALUS in Norfolk please see About ALUS. Projects on farm are developed with the farmer and designed to complement the farming operation with its surrounding landscape. For more information on our project sites please go to Demonstration Farms.
