Make every acre count
Check out how Ducks Unlimited Canada Alberta’s Marginal Areas Program (MAP) increases your profits while farming fewer acres!
MAP provides a financial solution to unproductive land within annual cropped fields by seeding perennial forages. Program participants can graze, hay, mow, or leave idle.
This program is just one way Ducks Unlimited Canada partners with Alberta growers to increase the profitability of their land.
Forages improve profitability, increase pollinator habitat and biodiversity, reduce herbicide-resistant weeds, act as buffer zones to meet product label guidelines and manage clubroot issues. Learn how to receive per acre incentives on eligible land and get a bonus Pollinator-friendly Power Pack.
Why MAP is so appealing to other conservation groups
Increasing perennial cover on the landscape benefits upland game birds such as roughed grouse, grey partridge, and pheasants. Perennial cover also supports biodiversity, beneficial insects, waterfowl, and other wildlife species.
The collaboration and outreach opportunities that this new partnership will generate are of great benefit to our mandate for waterfowl, biodiversity, and sustainability on the prairie landscape.
