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 four 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.
