Maintaining wildlife habitat and sustainable grazing go hand in hand, with livestock producers playing a key role in managing both.
Join Us and Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) to learn more about the Species Habitat Assessments and Ranching Partnership (SHARP). SHARP is a voluntary, collaborative project designed to work with producers to maintain the unique grazing and ecosystem values on their property in central Alberta. Together with the producer, ACA develops habitat strategies after first completing range and riparian health assessments as well as wildlife surveys to develop habitat enhancements that benefit both wildlife and livestock. As cost-shared enhancements are made, they develop a monitoring plan to assess their progress and effectiveness.
