Located in the beautiful Peace Region of northwestern Alberta, ALUS Northern Sunrise is Canada’s northernmost ALUS community. ALUS Northern Sunrise is a partnership between ALUS Canada and Northern Sunrise County.Northern Sunrise County is located east of the Peace and Smoky Rivers. With 94% of its 2.5 million hectares being public land, the remaining 6% is concentrated in agricultural, residential, commercial and recreational areas.Here at ALUS Northern Sunrise, we work alongside local farmers and ranchers to deploy ALUS green projects. Essentially, we remove environmentally sensitive marginal lands from agricultural production to generate cleaner air and water, additional wildlife habitat, and other ecosystem services.Our ALUS projects include installing barriers around water bodies, creating, enhancing, and expanding dugouts, implementing livestock watering systems, expanding and restoring riparian buffers, and restoring native grasses, trees, and shrubs to upland areas.ALUS Northern Sunrise provides professional support and an annual per acre payment for the establishment, maintenance and long-term management of these ecological projects.Together, ALUS Canada and Northern Sunrise County strive to ensure the sustainability of agriculture, wildlife and natural areas for the benefit of all residents.
