Saskatchewan is marking 25 years of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). To commemorate the occasion, Environment Minister Dustin Duncan and members of the NAWMP last week celebrated a project dedication on the Kehiew habitat conservation property near Avonlea. "The Saskatchewan NAWMP partnership is an unprecedented success," Duncan said. "It has allowed conservation and agriculture to work together toward sustainable land management and has resulted in numerous programs to involve private landowners in cooperative land stewardship." Seven agencies Ð including Environment Canada, Ducks Unlimited and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, among others Ð work together through the NAWMP partnership to achieve common goals set out within the implementation plan. Through the collective work of the NAWMP partners, over two million acres of land have been secured in Saskatchewan and another million acres have been influenced through stewardship programs.
