The LSRCD was established in 1999. The District covers approximately 4,200 km2 (420,000 ha) and is located in southwestern Manitoba. The LSRCD consists of the following municipalities; Park, Clanwilliam, Harrison, Strathclair, Blanshard, Saskatchewan, Minto, Odanah, Daly and contains the towns of Erickson, Minnedosa, Rapid City and Rivers.
The District encompasses the majority of the Little Saskatchewan River watershed and a portion of the Arrow-Oak River watershed, which are both part of the larger Assiniboine River Basin. Unique features of our watersheds include the prairie pothole landscape, significant slopes, steep valley walls, and an abundance of wildlife.
Programs available protect surface and ground water resources, repair actively eroding areas, prevent the erosion of top soil, and maintain wildlife habitat. Significant emphasis is placed on educational initiatives to all residents of the District through information days, tours, providing resources to our municipal partners and local libraries, school activities, and camp programs. The District has been coordinating the preparation of the Little Saskatchewan River Integrated Watershed Management Plan. Jointly, the District has been working with the Upper Assiniboine River Conservation District to prepare an integrated watershed management plan for the Arrow River and Oak River watershed.
