The Alternative Land Use Services Program is designed to increase environmental sustainability by providing financial incentive to agricultural landowners to establish or maintain Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) on agricultural land and/or for the removal of targeted environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production. The focus of the ALUS Program will be to prevent soil erosion and siltation of watercourses and wetlands, improve water quality, and enhance wildlife habitat in targeted areas beyond those covered by PEI’s regulations on agricultural practices.
