Manitoba Watershed Districts
Manitoba’s 14 Watershed Districts work on conservation projects throughout the province, from the U.S. border in the south to The Pas in the north, to the Saskatchewan border in the west and approaching the Whiteshell in the east. The districts work with communities, farmers, landowners, and all levels of government (municipal, provincial, federal, and indigenous) to conserve Manitoba’s soil, water, habitat, and climate.
Manitoba’s Watershed Districts are governed by local boards of directors. Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development manages the regulatory framework and provides core funding. Member municipalities also provide core funding to the districts.
*On January 1st, 2020, Manitoba’s 18 Conservation Districts transitioned into 14 Watershed Districts. Several districts merged and all districts have now aligned with natural watershed boundaries. Learn more from Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development or view The Watershed Districts Act.
