“In the spirit of the Iinnii Initiative theme and Iinnii Treaty, we are promoting the cultural, spiritual, ecological connections with the land and wildlife.”
The Oldman Watershed Council is proud to recognize the communities and organizations that represent the diverse population in our watershed. Our mutual dependance on the land and water bonds us, and together we are working towards a shared future that is ecologically healthy and rich in resources.
Watershed Stewardship Groups
Watershed Stewardship Groups (WSGs) are volunteer-led community groups that are involved in environmental stewardsip of the watershed at a local level. Members include individuals, organizations, industry, agriculture, municipal, and other forms of local government.
WSGs in the Oldman River watershed take initiative and develop on-the-ground solutions to protect their local creek, stream, stretch of river, or lake. Grassroots projects undertaken by WSGs have a history of demonstrating good land-use practices and making a positive impact on the quality and quantity of our water.
WSGs in the Oldman watershed include:
Drywood/Yarrow Conservation Partnership
