Greencover Canada

The Greencover Canada program is a five-year, $110-million Government of Canada initiative to help you, as a producer, improve your grassland-management practices, protect water quality, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, and enhance biodiversity and wildlife habitat.

A national program, Greencover Canada focuses on five components:

• Land Conversion - converting environmentally sensitive land to perennial cover;
• Critical Areas - managing agricultural land near water;
• Technical Assistance and Regional Technical Assistance - helping producers adopt beneficial management practices;
• Watershed Evaluation of BMPs (WEBs); and
• Shelterbelts - planting trees on agricultural land.

Funded under the Agricultural Policy Framework, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
