The provincial government is looking to cut red tape when it comes to leasing or using Crown lands, including wild rice regulations.
It has launched a user survey to get feedback on the current rules and restrictions and is asking for feedback from users. The survey can be found on Saskatchewan Environment’s website.
The ministry administers 377,000 square kilometres of Crown land in central and northern Saskatchewan. More than five million is generated annually from more than 6,500 wild rice and land use dispositions issued on Crown resource lands.
Other disposition examples include things like mine sites, outfitter lodges, recreational and trappers’ cabins and gravel pits. The survey will be online until the end of the month.
The Crown resource land and wild rice survey is available online at www.saskatchewan.ca/government/public-consultations/crown-resource-land-and-wild-rice-survey.
