Program Details
 
 
  With most of Alberta's parkland now entrusted in the care and stewardship of private landowners, the Parkland Stewardship Program (PSP) assists them in understanding the value of wildlife and their native habitat within a framework of sustainable land management and environmental stewardship. Because wildlife and their habitats provide a vast array of important ecosystem functions (e.g. nutrient recycling, groundwater recharge and erosion control), much of what is good for wildlife is also good for sustainable farm production.

Long-term conservation goals begin with good planning. The Parkland Stewardship Program can help you with that planning and provide technical resources to help you turn your plans into practice. These services can increase the ecological value of your land. Taking part also demonstrates due diligence in addressing environmental issues on your farm. Services available to members include:

  • An Air Photo of your lands to help you link your farm with other environmental values in your community.
  • A Natural Resource Inventory of the habitats and wildlife species on your lands.
  • Farm Water Watch tools for monitoring surface water quality in your runoff, streams, and wetlands.
  • A custom prepared Farm Conservation Plan for improving fish and wildlife habitats on your farm.
  • Farm-specific development of environmental Best Management Practices.

PSP members receive a free on-farm planning services.
