Overview
Alberta is committed to private land conservation and stewardship as part of maintaining healthy ecosystems across the province.
To ensure these important lands are protected for generations and working landscapes are preserved for farming and ranching, Alberta is in the process of modernizing our approach to private land conservation and exploring new tools to help conserve more land.
About the program
In Alberta, the conservation and stewardship of ecologically important private land is supported by the Alberta government through the Land Stewardship Fund.
The Alberta Land Trust Grant Program has helped to provide funding to establish, administer, and steward new conservation easements on private land and administer and steward new conservation land acquired by land trusts.
Focused engagement on options for modernizing private land conservation tools and potential programing, including the Alberta Land Trust Grant Program, is now complete.
That feedback is currently under review and will inform updated private land conservation program delivery for summer 2025.
