A Conservation District is a group of local people working together to attempt to improve sustainability on a specific landscape.  These people realize the connectivity of our communities to the health of the watershed we live in.  If we live in a vibrant, healthy watershed the quality of life will improve for all of the areas residents.

The Conservation District's Program in Manitoba has traditionally offered a wide variety of conservation programming aimed at achieving this goal.  Currently, LSRBCD offers 14 different soil, water and pasture conservation programs to its landowners.

Note:  Due to the fact that different landscapes require different management strategies not all programs offered by other CDs will be offered by LSRBCD.

Watershed Management Components:

Soil Management - These projects are aimed at maintaining a healthy soil horizon.

Water Management - These projects are geared towards promoting a strong and healthy watershed.

Pasture Management - These projects are direct to improve herd health through improving pasture health along with water quality.

Public Education - Education to all age levels about the importance of a healthy watershed through seminars, school visits and promotions.
