In partnership with the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW), the Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve is developing an engaging water stewardship education package for residents and users of lands adjacent to waterways in the Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve area.

This project will encourage green boating, water conservation, proper septic maintenance, and habitat protection to ensure the preservation of the region’s rich and diverse water bodies. By providing specific, relevant information we hope to instil a sense of ownership that will propel residents to take positive environmental action to protect this unique area for future generations.

The central portion of this project is a publication intended as a resource for those living next to many water bodies in the Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve. This publication will provide the necessary resources to complete various projects including improving existing shorelines, planting native species, dock repair and installation, sewage treatment, and ways of reducing human impact on the shores and water bodies. This publication will be made available in 2012.
