How healthy is your riparian area?

Ag team members from Special Areas, the MD of Acadia and Chinook Applied Research Association brushed up on their riparian health assessment skills with Cows and Fish - Alberta Riparian Habitat Management Society at the Bullpound Creek in the Richdale Community Pasture. The staff now have one more tool in their toolbox to help producers evaluate their management choices around wetlands, streams & lakes.

Why does Riparian Health Matter? Resiliency: The ability to bounce back from droughts is a BIG one in our country! A healthy riparian area stores water in its system that can be released during drought periods, meaning more water for your operation when the going gets tough!
