Alberta Environment and Parks has released a new factsheet for the Wetland Replacement Program
Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) has funding available for eligible wetland replacement projects and is seeking to establish partnerships with municipalities. The Wetland Replacement Program (WRP) aims to re-establish wetlands in partnership with Albertans by providing resources for collaborative restoration projects across the province. WRP will focus on fostering partnerships with municipalities that have a vested interest in wetland replacement, which includes the following:
- Wetland Restoration: Returning natural/historic functions to a former or degraded wetland.
- Wetland Construction: Creating a wetland on a site that was historically a non-wetland.
Municipalities that are interested in identifying and managing wetland replacement projects within their municipality and meet the minimum pre-qualification requirements are eligible to apply for the 2020 / 21 program.
For more information about WRP or to learn about the pre-qualification process, contact AEP at aep.wetlands@gov.ab.ca.
The deadline to participate in the program is March 27, 2020.
