Who is the NWACI?

In 2002 the North West Alliance Conservation Initiative (NWACI) was created through a partnership of seven municipalities.  These municipalities are Strathcona, Sturgeon, Parkland, Westlock, Thorhild, Athabasca and MD 124 Lesser Slave River.   This partnership receives funding from the Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (AESA) program through Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.  AESA contributes to projects that demonstrate the importance of innovation in agricultural and environmental sustainability.  NWACI’s mandate is to provide local producers with information through extension on agriculture conservation.
