At 407 ETR, we're committed to exploring innovative solutions to environmental challenges. Did you know certain grasses can help remove salt contamination from soil? We're proud to sponsor an exciting phytoremediation study by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) in collaboration with Royal Military College at Toronto Pearson International Airport. This project aims to mitigate the effects of road salt on plants and animals by utilizing unique grass varieties that draw out salt from the soil. We're thrilled to support such forward-thinking initiatives that could pave the way for better environmental preservation practices. Learn more about how these remarkable grasses could help mitigate salt damage: https://brnw.ch/21wO2Nt
Experiment at Pearson airport shows grasses can draw salt contamination out of soil. Can it work at Lake Wilcox in Richmond Hill?
