The Manitoba government has approved $958,000.00 for new projects this year through the fish and wildlife enhancement fund as part of it’s ongoing commitment to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife.

The money comes from a provincial fund that is supported through donations and restitution payments collected from fish and wildlife infractions. The new projects will focus on population and habitat enhancement, habitat protection, research to improve angling opportunities and education for young anglers through fishing camps, hunter education, and improved public access including updating docks.

The fund continues to grow every year as the Manitoba government contributes 10 %of the annual fees collected from recreational angling, hunting and trapping licenses.
