We do the work and you get a cheque
DUC’s wetland restoration program is a win-win for landowners
Have wet ground that’s costing you productivity? You could get paid to restore it—and improve how your farm manages water.
Manage water: Restored wetlands slow runoff, reduce pooling and erosion during heavy rain events, and help recharge groundwater.
Support the farm: Restored wetlands can provide forage and stock water, while improving nearby temperature, humidity, and pollinator communities that can boost annual crop production.
Climate resilience: Through improved water and microclimate management, restored wetlands can help make your farm more resilient to extreme weather.
Get paid to restore: DUC covers construction costs, landowners receive a per-acre payment.
DUC’s wetland restoration program is funded in part through Manitoba’s Conservation Trust.
With DUC’s Wetland Restoration program, you can turn wet ground into a working asset.
