2012 Program Applications now available.
Nutrient Management
Through the preparation of watershed plans for the Little Saskatchewan River & Oak River watersheds, stakeholders shared their concerns regarding nutrient loading to lakes, rivers, and streams. This re-structured program allows landowners the flexibility of choosing the solution to address the source of nutrient loading specific to their property. Applications will be assessed based on their benefit to the watershed, allowing landowners to receive financial assistance of 75% of the project costs up to a maximum of $2500. Application deadline is May 31st with projects being completed by July 31st.
