COWS & FISH

Last modified April 7, 2006

Both cattle and fish benefit when the streams run clear and free of silt. Alberta Fish and Wildlife and Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development have jointly developed a program that enables landowners to identify problems in aquatic systems and carry out remedial actions. Ranchers have gradually embraced this project, and significant gains in water quality have now been achieved. The key to the success is the totally voluntary participation. The Cows and Fish Program does not even advertise, relying on word of mouth to attract interested people.
