Species at Risk 2010-2011

Financial assistance is available to farmers across Ontario through the Species at Risk Farm Incentive Program (SARFIP). A new cost-share program is in place for the 2010 cropping season for farmers who take action on selected environmental Best Management Practices (BMPs) that play a key role in contributing to a healthy and diverse environment as well as helping sustain production and profitability on the farm.

Media Release - August 5, 2010 - New program provides funds for on-farm protection of species at risk.

Brochure: Brief description of SARFIP 2010-2011 and a list of eligible Best Management Practices (BMP) categories and funding caps for each category. Information on program eligibility and the application process is also included. SARFIP reimburses farmers for up to 50 per cent of the eligible project cost. Producers interested in participating may contact their local OSCIA Program Representative.
