Community Pasture Program

The Community Pasture Program is PFRA's largest and longest-running contributin to soil conservation on th eprairies.  Started in the 1930's to reclaim badly eroded areas, the program has returned more than 145,000 hectares (ha) of poor quality cultivated lands to grass cover since 1937 and currently encompasses in excess of 900,000 ha of range land.

The two major objectives of the Community Pasture Program are:

1) To make possible the removal of lands from unsuitable or unacceptable land use and to facilitate improved land use through their rehabilitation, conservation and management.

2) To utilize the resources primarily for the summer grazing of cattle while assisting in stabilizing small farms and providing breeding bulls to encourage high quality, long term cattle production.
