Protection of natural and heritage resources in the valley is one of Meewasin's primary goals. In the current five year plan Meewasin will focus on being a conservation agency, initiating a land stewardship program, restoring damaged areas of the valley, afforestation (greening the valley), preservation of remaining natural areas in the valley, and enhancing, restoring and/or creating wildlife habitat areas.

Goals:

• to ensure effective conservation of the natural and heritage resources of the valley through leadership in management of resources and undertaking programs and projects in river valley conservation.
• to gather and analyze information on all aspects of the natural and heritage resources of the valley for use in Meewasin's planning, design and interpretive projects.
