Description

The Alberta Cows and Fish program was established in 1992 through a partnership between the Alberta Beef Producers; Trout Unlimited Canada; the Canadian Cattlemen's Association; Alberta Sustainable Resource Development; Alberta Environment; Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development; Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration; Fisheries and Oceans Canada; and Alberta Conservation Association. Most important to the initial success of the partnership was the cooperation of a number of southern Alberta ranches that applied riparian grazing strategies to restore riparian condition, or shared existing grazing practices that have been effective in maintaining riparian health. Since then, producers across the prairies have been involved with Cows and Fish, sharing their experiences and working with their communities on riparian health. The Cows and Fish members and supporters are working together with farm and ranch families to foster a better understanding of how improvements in grazing management on riparian areas can enhance landscape health and productivity, for the benefit of producers and others who use and value riparian areas.
