“The Lac La Nonne Watershed Stewardship Society is a group of volunteers dedicated to improving, enhancing & protecting the Lac La Nonne watershed health for all watershed inhabitants, present and future.” |
The LWSS is a non-profit registered Society working within the confines of the Lac La Nonne Watershed. It consists of a group of volunteers from the agricultural and recreational sector who became concerned with the quality of the water in the lakes and other water bodies within the wateshed.
Assisting the volunteers are technical advisors from Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA), Alberta Environment (AENV), and Cows and Fish.
Meetings are held once a month at the Seniors' Lac La Nonne Lakeside Recreational Club House (Highway 33, Twsp. Rd 575) and the public is welcome to attend at any time.
The main Mandate is to improve the quality of the water to today as well as for future generations. A "State of the Watershed Report" is now complete and available to the public. See Initatives. This is a living public document that can be used as a guideline for other watershed groups, agriculture, recreation, and industry to further enhance and improve the quality of the water.
Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs), Stream Water Analysis, Home Site Consultations (HSC), Farm Water Watch (FWW), Environmental Farm Plan (EFP), and the Ag-Capture Program are Projects that we have supported, sponsored or partnered on. Others projects such as the Paleoliminolgy Sediment Analysis; at Lac la Nonne is underway, and Riparian Assessment of the shoreline of Lac La Nonne, Majeau, and Nakamun are planned for future initiatives.
Volunteer assistance is always welcome for such things as project management, grant application writing, poster compaigning, assistance for lunches, manning conference tables, attending conferences on behalf of the Society, folding newsletters, stuffing newsletter envelopes, etc. More volunteers are very much needed to sit on the Board of Directors.
