SLICS\u00a0 provides financial and technical assistance to landowners undertaking projects within WBR that steward wetland, riparian, and grassland habitats, ensure water quantity and quality, provide habitat corridors, or maintain particular habitat features required by species at risk. Technique training workshops are also held occasionally.<\/p>\n

Supported projects could include, but are not limited to, off-site watering systems and spring developments, riparian fencing, electric or post and wire fencing for rotational grazing, beaver pond levellers or culvert protection, and enhancements for specific species at risk (e.g., hawk nest poles). Projects are supported on a 50-50 cost-share basis with landowner contribution including in-kind labour or equipment time, partner funding, or cash input.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Waterton Biosphere Reserve Association
