Grow Program

What is GROW? 

Growing Outcomes in Watersheds (GROW) is a new initiative that recognizes the valuable role farmers play in improving the health of the agricultural landscape. GROW is a made-in-Manitoba approach to encourage and support the delivery of ecological goods and services (EG&S) in Manitoba.  Identified under the Water Pillar in Manitoba’s Climate and Green Plan, GROW focuses on watershed health, management and resiliency.​

How is it funded? 

The Conservation Trust was established in 2018 with a $102.0 million contribution from Manitoba to The Winnipeg Foundation (TWF) to establish an endowment fund to generate annual revenues for conservation projects. Manitoba also established the GROW Trust with a contribution of $52.0 million to support the new Growing Outcomes in Watersheds (GROW) program that is being delivered by Watershed Districts throughout Manitoba. In 2019, Manitoba also established the Wetlands GROW Trust with a $50.0 million contribution to support the protection of critical wetlands. In total, Manitoba has provided $204.0 million to endowment funds that will generate around $10.0 million annually for conservation.
