Keep Grazing Program
BMP Incentives for Livestock and Wildlife Benefits
MHHC is partnering with Manitoba Beef Producers and Environment and Climate Change Canada to provide farmers with new opportunities, and funding, to create and enhance species at risk habitat on their lands.
This program provides a range of landowner-driven opportunities to support SAR in Manitoba, while still recognizing your need to make a living from your land. The two core elements of this program are 1) the implementation of beneficial management practices (BMPs) on pasture lands in southwest Manitoba (“Keep Grazing” project) and 2) SAR extension and BMP delivery across Manitoba through range management planning.
