The Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) provides funding for projects that contribute directly to the recovery objectives and population goals of species at risk listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) and prevent others from becoming a conservation concern.
The objectives of this program are to:
- support habitat projects that benefit species at risk and prevent others from becoming a conservation concern;
- enable Canadians to become actively involved in stewardship projects for species at risk which will result in tangible and measurable conservation benefits; and
- improve the scientific, sociological and economic understanding of stewardship as a conservation tool.
In order to be eligible, proposed projects must target the following species:
- species listed on Schedule 1 of SARA (except those listed as extirpated), and/or
- species that have been assessed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) as endangered, threatened, or of special concern but have not yet been listed on Schedule 1 of SARA
Please review the HSP program priorities for more information about priority projects.
If you are interested in applying for funds through this program, please contact Max Smith (max.smith@trca.ca) as soon as possible to discuss your project’s eligibility.
