Forty-five active members were randomly selected from the Association and interviewed during the summer of 1989. Most members farmed on the escarpment, farmed full time and operated mixed grain and livestock operations. Most learned of the DSWMA through neighbours and joined out of personal interest in conservation. Surveyed members were very pleased with the project's operations. The DSWMA model was well received by farmer's because it encouraged local participation in identifying local resource issues and prospective management options; it coordinated agencies conservation programs with farmers' conservation activities; it fostered the exchange and accumulation of agricultural and wildlife habitat conserva
