Wetland Conservation Agreements

Both you and the wildlife on your property can benefit when you conserve your wetlands with Manitoba Habitat Conservancy’s Wetland Conservation Agreements. We strive to be partners in conservation as we work to protect wildlife habitats, water quality, and biodiversity on your property. MHC ensures your dedication to Manitoba’s wildlife won’t go unnoticed as we provide financial compensation to every farm that welcomes conservation efforts into their wetlands. Find out how MHC conservation programs can benefit you and your farm for years to come by contacting the Staff Person in your area!

Did You Know

Wetlands are among the most productive natural ecosystems in the world, comparable to tropical rain forests or coral reefs; yet more than half of all wetlands on the Prairies have been lost or degraded since pioneer settlement.

Today wetlands are increasingly recognized as integral components of a watershed, aiding in flood control, increasing local biodiversity, improving the quality of both surface and ground water, and providing aesthetic and recreational benefits to society.
