Introduction
The conservation of private land supports biodiversity and natural landscapes, helps sustain healthy fish and wildlife populations, and conserves ecological services. This benefits the economy and the health and well-bring of communities, enhances recreational opportunities and provides numerous other ecosystem services. Private land conservation and stewardship remains a critical element of Alberta’s commitment to sustaining healthy ecosystems.
Programs
Private land conservation programs support a broad base of private landowners through conservation tools that align with government priorities and stakeholder feedback. These tools support sustainable and effective stewardship of Alberta’s private lands to:
- maintain large patches of native landscapes with high ecological and biodiversity value, with emphasis on maintaining a working landscape
- conserve connectivity on the landscape by sustaining important habitat corridors and pockets within a fragmented landscape
- conserve regional and local riparian and wetland systems that support watershed functions for healthy aquatic ecosystems and water quality
This program provides funding to eligible organizations to promote the conservation of biodiversity on private lands.
This program provides funding to support the delivery of ecosystem services programs.
