Whitemud Watershed District is hosting the 2026 MAW Tour this week and PVWD board and staff members jumped on the tour bus! It's always interesting to see the challenges other WDs face and the solutions they come up with to get projects complete!

[pvwatershed district @PvwatershedD]

Our annual June and July sub-district meetings give board members a chance to tour some of the current and past projects in each area. Thank-you to our local producers for taking time out of your day to show us some "on the ground" projects in action!
