Examples of the kinds of projects ALUS supports:
|
ALUS in Big Lakes CountyOriginally the Alternative Land Use Services Program, the ALUS program is a community-based initiative for landowners to support natural solutions and promote environmental stewardship. ALUS provides landowners with opportunities to consider conservation as a means of land management. The program is producer driven, running on the schedule of the producer, based on their interests, and works to provide solutions on a project-by-project basis. It is by no means a one-size-fits-all model! ALUS coordinators are partners working hand in hand with landowners to make real change across Alberta, and Canada! ALUS is currently in 31 communities across Canada and has invested over $12 million in projects across Canada! With over 1,103 producer partners and 32,134 acres enrolled with ALUS since 2021, ALUS is thriving on support from its communities and partners. |
