Alternative Land Use Services Program │Government of Prince Edward Island

Value

Varies

Description

The Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) Program aims to empower farmers and farmland owners in conservation and regeneration of agricultural landscapes.

ALUS supports the maintenance, enhancement, and production of ecological goods and services (EG&S) to reduce soil erosion, improve air and water quality, enhance wildlife habitat and biodiversity, sequester carbon and build resilient agricultural landscapes.  ALUS provides financial assistance to farmers and farmland owners through a multi-year land use agreement. The agreement provides annual payments for the adoption and maintenance of beneficial management practices (BMPs) on agricultural land and for the conversion of targeted environmentally sensitive land from annual crop production to biodiverse, carbon sequestering perennial landscapes.

Eligible Applicants

  • Mi’kmaq First Nations and other Indigenous groups;
  • Agricultural landowners; and
  • Agricultural producers.

Eligible Expenses

  • Converting marginal or high-risk croplands that have been in annual production at some point since 2015 into biodiverse, perennial, carbon-sequestering landscapes. Eligible lands include:
    • Expansion of buffer zones beyond the regulated 15m;
    • Seasonally wet annual cropland;
    • High slope cropland; and
    • Field margins.
  • Maintaining land under soil conservation structures, or natural hollows left as permanent grass;
  • Excluding livestock from watercourses and wetlands;
  • Establishing and maintaining habitat and nectar sources for pollinators and other beneficial insects;
  • Planting trees & shrubs on ALUS-retired lands;
  • Delaying cutting and harvesting of grass in forage fields, and deferring grazing of forages in pastures, until after July 15th of each year;
  • Establishing and maintaining innovative agroforestry systems; and
  • Avoiding conversion and enhancing management of previously enrolled ALUS features.
