GROW Program
GRowing Outcomes in Watersheds (GROW) is a made-in-Manitoba approach to encourage and support the delivery of ecological goods and services (EG&S) in Manitoba. Identified under the Water Pillar in Manitoba’s Climate and Green Plan, GROW focuses on watershed health, management and resiliency.
Two priority outcomes for GROW are improved watershed resilience to the impacts of a changing climate (i.e., reduced flooding and drought vulnerability) and improved water quality (i.e., sediment and nutrient management). Co-benefits include improved on-farm water management, enhanced sustainable agricultural production, improved biodiversity and habitat, and carbon sequestration and storage.
Wetland Area Management
A wetland is a permanently or temporarily water-saturated area characterized by distinct plants and soil types. Possible projects may include establishing a perennial upland buffer around a wetland, fencing, off-site watering, plugging surface drains, among others.
Riparian Area Management
Riparian areas are vegetated zones adjacent to rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands. A riparian area is considered a transition zone or interface between a wetland and the surrounding drier upland. Projects include fencing, alternative watering systems, and re-establishment of riparian vegetation.
Upland Area Management
Natural upland areas, such as treed areas and grasslands, may require rejuvenation to function optimally.
GROW - Wetland Conservation
Landowners can receive annual payments for the conservation of Class 1 and 2 wetlands while still cultivating during dry periods.
Class 1 & 2 wetlands are shallow depressions that hold water for only a few weeks after spring snowmelt and for several days after heavy rain events. They can be cultivated and seeded during dry periods.
