In co-operation with landowners and Fish and Wildlife, there is a habitat enhancement program. The program leases up to 1200 acres for periods of five years to enhance and maintain natural cover and conserve wildlife, soil and water. A joint water management project with the provincial on-farm water management steering committee is studying backflood projects and runoff with local Herb Kloek, one of the Barrhead conservation partners looks across his riverbottom land on the Pembina southwest of Barrhead. Kloeck planted a conservation strip along the river to reduce erosion. Shelterbelts can play a major role in conservation, so the county has enhanced its tree distribution program. Through the program, help is supplied to plant and maintain trees in over-cleared areas. Ginnala maple, mountain ash and Siberian crabs are used to both improve aesthetic appeal and to attract wildlife. (Cont'd) Alberta Agriculture, Information Services Division.
