Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District

About CD:
The LSRCD was established in 1999. The District covers approximately 4,200 km2 (420,000 ha) and is located in southwestern Manitoba. The District encompasses the majority of the Little Saskatchewan River watershed and a portion of the Arrow-Oak River watershed, which are both part of the larger Assiniboine River Basin.  Unique features of our watersheds include the prairie pothole landscape, significant slopes, steep valley walls, and an abundance of wildlife. Programs available protect surface and ground water resources, repair actively eroding areas, prevent the erosion of top soil, and maintain wildlife habitat.  Significant emphasis is placed on educational initiatives to all residents of the District through information days, tours, providing resources to our municipal partners and local libraries, school activities, and camp programs.  The District has been coordinating the preparation of the Little Saskatchewan River Integrated Watershed Management Plan.  Jointly, the District has been working with the Upper Assiniboine River Conservation District to prepare an integrated watershed management plan for the Arrow River and Oak River watershed.  Each of our watershed plans are expected to be presented to the Minister of Water Stewardship in 2009.

Educational Trail/Site:
Within our watersheds, you can experience and/or learn about nature by travelling down one of the many trails, fishing and boating on the rivers and lakes, or camping at any one of the publicly or privately owned campgrounds.
