A producer group in southeastern Saskatchewan was honoured with the 2010 Lieutenant Governor’s Greenwing conservation award for its work promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
The North Moose Mountain Creek Agri-Environmental Group Plan Inc. has hosted eight events since it formed 16 months ago.
Chair Les Johnston said the organization was honoured by the award.
“As stewards of the land, we as producers work and live here, all the while conscious of the benefits a healthy watershed has to everyone living inside and outside of it,” he said.
The award is sponsored by Ducks Unlimited and recognizes those who take leadership roles in conserving wetlands.
The NMMC works within the Upper Souris watershed educating people about the importance of healthy wetlands and agriculture’s role through field days, tours and workshops.
