Program Features

Watershed Resiliency and Restoration Program (WRRP)

The Watershed Resiliency and Restoration Program is geared towards funding projects that will increase the watersheds around the province’ ability to mitigate harsh weather conditions like drought and flood events. Key goals of the program are to restore and conserve wetlands and riparian areas while also increasing stewardship of the land. The focus of the program is to restore or create natural solutions like willow staking and enhancing wetlands.

The LSWC has grant funding available to projects that meet the specific goals of the program. 

Environmental Farm Plan

Environmental Farm Plans (EFP’s) are a great jumping off point for agricultural land owners! It is a voluntary program to help land owners make decisions on their properties. EFP’s are a way to help inform land owners of potential environmental risk factors on their farms and are also used as a precursor to many grant funding opportunities. 

The LSWC staff are certified EFP Technicians and can help producers through the EFP process! Get in touch with us to sign up for an EFP! We also offer support for EFP’s from start to finish, and can help apply for grant funding and work through projects!
