Program Summary
Saskatchewan Stock Growers Foundation and South of the Divide Conservation Action Program (SODCAP)'s Results-Based Conservation Agreement program involves signing an agreement that outlines specific habitat goals to be achieved through management practices. Once these targets are met, ranchers receive financial incentives. The agreements are flexible, allowing ranchers to make their own management decisions regarding range management, forage production, and livestock care, while excluding areas such as industrial development and disease control.
