Alberta Environmental Farm Plan (EFP)

The Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is a voluntary, confidential self-assessment tool that helps producers identify and address environmental risks on their farms.

If your EFP is more than 10 years old, it’s time for an update! You can register online to start a new workbook or renew your existing plan.

Clear Hills County staff are Certified EFP Technicians and are here to help guide you through the process from start to finish.
