Helping Water, Wildlife, and Working Lands Thrive

Since 2015, ALUS Lac Ste. Anne has partnered with local producers to restore and enhance ecosystem services across the County. Farmers and ranchers here are leading the way in building resilient landscapes that support clean water, healthy soils, wildlife habitat, and sustainable agriculture.

Our Impact

Water Resilience
With support from the Government of Alberta’s Watershed Resiliency & Restoration Program (WRRP), producers are implementing riparian fencing, off-stream/solar watering systems, tree and shrub plantings, wetland enhancements, and coexistence tools (e.g., beaver pond levellers) that reduce erosion, filter runoff, and restore natural hydrology.

Local Leadership
Delivered in partnership with Lac Ste. Anne County and guided by a local Partnership Advisory Committee (PAC) of producers, community members, and technical experts, ALUS projects reflect local priorities and deliver tangible environmental benefits.

Partnerships
ALUS Lac Ste. Anne is proud to work with a wide network of organizations and agencies, including neighbouring ALUS Communities, Athabasca Watershed Council, North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance, Farming Forward, Alberta Professional Outfitters Society, among others. These collaborations help expand capacity, bring technical expertise, and amplify impact on the ground.

Community Engagement
We host Agri-Enviro showcase events and field days, allowing neighbours, partners, and the public to see projects in action and learn how collaboration on the land creates shared value for agriculture, communities, and the environment.
