This initiative is part of the Province?s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by at least 33 per cent below current levels by 2020.

Projects selected for funding must meet the following criteria:

  • volunteer and community engagement;
  • partnered funding;
  • linkages with other provincial government initiatives; and
  • stewardship, monitoring and long-term sustainability plans.

Eligible applicants include local governments, First Nations and institutional landowners such as school districts, hospital and universities. Environmental and stewardship groups are invited to apply in partnership with another eligible applicant.
