To whom it may concern:

The Swift Current Creek Watershed Stewards is an organization that is dedicated to enhancing water quality and stream health of the Swift Current Creek Watershed by promoting awareness and understanding among water users. One of the concerns that have been raised by stakeholders in our watershed has been the increase in development of property along waterbodies within our watershed and the possible effects of this development. While this development has not had a negative impact on the watershed at this point, there is an opportunity available to help property owners along the shoreline take steps to naturalize and revegetate their property to minimize the impacts of development and improve the health of the watershed.

SCCWS is partnering with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program, Watersheds Canada and the Saskatchewan Association of Watershed to present the Natural Edge Program in Saskatchewan. The Natural Edge Program works to revegetate and naturalize shoreline of waterbodies with significant populations of fish important for the recreational fishery.

Landowners interested in participating in this program can contact our office. Our staff would then visit the property to do a site assessment. From this assessment a planting plan is developed. This plan encompasses the needs of the site in terms of improving the environment, the best plants to revegetate and naturalize the site, and the plans of the property owner for their shoreline. Once the plan has been completed and approved SCCWS would order supplies and ensure that they arrive at the planting site. SCCWS along with the land owner would then complete planting as required. Once planting is complete it is up to the landowner to maintain the site.

Other than the time to plan the site, help with planting and maintaining the site all that is asked from the land owner is a 25% contribution to the costs involved in the revegetation and naturalization. The rest of the costs are to be covered by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans grant received by SCCWS. In most cases the total cost of a project is approximately $2,000. That means for $500 the land owner can receive a $2,000 or more increase in the value of their property.

Revegetation and naturalization of shorelines has many benefits. The most obvious is to make the shore line more aesthetically pleasing. There are however many useful benefits beyond the cosmetic changes made. Native trees, shrubs, grasses and wildflowers act as a buffer between properties and the water, improving water quality by filtering run off. This vegetation provides shade to both aquatic and land animals and other plants on the shoreline. This increases habitat for many aquatic and land animals that live in or near the water. Native vegetation will set a network of roots which will hold the soil reducing erosion and mitigates flooding.

Please pass this letter and information on to your residents who have shoreline as part of their property and encourage them to give our office a call to set up a free site evaluation. The more property owners that take advantage of this program the better the environment of your lake and our watershed.

This program is not limited to cabin owners. It is also available to Regional Parks and organizations that have property with shoreline and a significant recreational fishery. If your group is interested in completing naturalization and revegetation on a part of the lake that you own, give us a call and we will complete a free site evaluation on that land.

While revegetation and naturalization of shoreline may not be the answer for all of the property owners on your lake, it is something that would be of benefit to many as well as for the overall health of your lake and our watershed. If you have any questions about the Natural Edge Revegetation and Naturalization Program please give me a call at 306-770-4607 or e-mail me at stewards@sccws.com.

Thank you,

Kevin Steinley
