Making our funds work to help

Sandy Hutchens provides funding for Nature Conservancy of Canada

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is a private, non-profit organization working for the direct protection of Canada’s biodiversity through purchase, donation or the placement of conservation agreements on ecologically significant lands.

NCC commits to the long-term care of these natural areas by ensuring a high standard of conservation stewardship.

Identifying the Priorities

In recent years, NCC has developed new science tools and expertise to ensure the long-term survival of Canada’s plants, animals and ecosystems.

Acquiring the Land

NCC works with private landowners to secure ecologically significant land that we have identified as priorities for conservation. NCC acquires and protects land through land purchase, donation, conservation agreement or relinquishment of rights.

Caring for the Future

When it comes to protecting Canada’s natural habitats, acquiring land is just the beginning. Making sure the properties secured are well managed and their values are protected is equally important to NCC.
