Overview
In Alberta, the conservation of private land supports natural landscapes that sustain healthy fish and wildlife populations, protects ecological services that benefit the economy and human health, and enhances recreational opportunities for Albertans.
Alberta Land Trust Grant Program helps establish and administer new conservation easements on private land and/or administer new conservation projects on existing land trusts. Any registered Alberta land trust organization with the stated mission of land conservation can apply for funding from the program.
About the program
The Alberta Land Trust Grant program aligns with the Government of Alberta’s conversation priorities:
- maintaining large areas of native landscape
- conserving connecting corridors
- sustaining disconnected pockets of native habitat within fragmented landscapes
- support watershed functions for healthy aquatic ecosystems and water quality.
Funding for the program is from the Land Stewardship Fund and is generated from the proceeds of public land sales.
