Wild Rice Resource Guide |
|
A Wild Rice Resource Guide has been developed by the 1854 Treaty Authority. This guide provides information on locations in the 1854 Ceded Territory where wild rice could be harvested. Although conditions on given lakes/rivers obviously change each year, the guide lists areas that have contained harvestable wild rice in recent years. In addition, all waters found to contain any wild rice during the Wild Rice Survey are included. Lakes and rivers are classified as having good, fair, or poor potential to contain harvestable wild rice. The second version of the guide (updated in July 2003) lists 101 lakes/rivers, and will be revised again in the future as new or better information on wild rice waters in the 1854 Ceded Territory is acquired. The Wild Rice Resource Guide also contains information about wild rice biology, harvest regulations, and traditional harvesting/finishing. The Wild Rice Resource Guide is available on the reports and publications page (Click here) or by contacting the 1854 Treaty Authority. |
