The Farmland-Riparian Interface Stewardship Program (FRISP) helps producers protect and enhance water quality, riparian vegetation and fish habitat. The program addresses watershed resource concerns by encouraging sustainable land management practices in support of the agricultural sector.
The program’s objectives are to:
FRISP increases awareness, involvement and compliance by the agriculture community to agency regulatory requirements through the following:
FRISP does not fund capital expenditures or labour for projects, although this funding can be sought from other programs, organizations, agencies and in-kind donations.
FRISP takes pride in supporting community involvement in all its projects through equipment sharing, dividing up certain contracts for shared workload, as well as involving high school students, industry partners and local non-profits groups in planting partnerships.
This can create a great sense of community pride and awareness, focusing on functional watercourse systems and riparian management.
FRISP supports cattle producers or groups of cattle producers that have been identified by the BCCA. To access the program, contact the FRISP program manager or BCCA office.
