About Us

The South Shore Watershed Association (SSWA) is a registered charitable organization established in 2011 to protect and maintain five adjacent watersheds in the the south-central area of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

The South Shore Watershed Association is made up of board members, community members, students & staff. We work year long to help fund and support conservational projects along the South Shore.

We connect landowners, agricultural producers, and other industries to funding for conservation projects.
