New Brunswick Biodiversity Enhancement Program promotes habitat conservation on the farm
 A new conservation program is being delivered to New Brunswick farmers thanks to the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture and Ducks Unlimited Canada. The Biodiversity Enhancement Program provides technical and financial assistance to farmers for projects related to water quality improvements and biodiversity conservation.
“Agriculture producers in New Brunswick are already investing significant resources in soil conservation and manure management projects and are doing their part to contribute to clean water and healthy habitat” says Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministry David Alward. “The Biodiversity Enhancement Program will help position New Brunswick agricultural producers among the Canadian leaders in conservation farming”.
The program will assist farmers in projects such as wetland construction and restoration, beaver pond management, and wildlife flushing bars. The program is built on the recognition that providing resources for the management of natural lands on private properties benefits society through wildlife production, clean water and clean air.
