In #Saskatchewan, extreme weather events are becoming more common. Maintaining healthy soil helps your soil stay resilient during droughts and heavy rainfall. #SaskAg #SaskWatersheds #SoilConservation

Planting native trees and shrubs in damaged riparian areas helps limit erosion, sedimentation, and nutrient influx during runoff, improving water quality for fish and livestock. Using funding provided by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in 2024, SAW implemented 6 riparian planting projects in southwest Saskatchewan. In 2025, SAW will implement 6 additional projects in southeast Saskatchewan along the Qu’Appelle River. SAW is currently looking for landowner partners for 2025 riparian planting projects. For more information, please email r.rutko@saskwatersheds.ca or call (306) 774-2136.

This week is 🫎 National Wildlife Week – a week where we, as Canadians 🇨🇦 , are encouraged to learn about wildlife and their habitats. In 1947, the Canadian Parliament officially proclaimed this week as National Wildlife Week. The celebration coincides with the birthday of Jack Miner – an important figure in the conservation of Canadian wildlife. 🫶 For more information, visit cwf-fcf.org #celebratewildlife #NationalWildlifeWeek
