Description

The Ecosystem Services Grant Program is being piloted for 2025-26 and is intended to provide opportunities for landowners to conserve high quality natural assets that are at high risk of conversion or in areas of high conservation priority.

Eligible Applicants

Applicants to the Ecosystem Services Grant Program must be registered non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations registered under a government act, or municipalities within Alberta.

Individuals and private enterprises are not eligible to receive direct funding under this program but are encouraged to participate and contribute to projects with eligible partners.

Eligible Expenses

Landowners enrolled into an eligible third-party ecosystem services program funded by the Ecosystem Services Grant Program may receive 2 types of payments:

  • Retention payments provide incentive payments to landowners to conserve natural assets on the landscape, ensuring existing ecosystem services are sustained.
  • Improvement payments fund discrete projects that improve natural assets and enhance ecosystem services through mitigation and restoration activities.

Deadline Date

Program applications are currently closed. Check back for the 2026-27 program intake, opening in spring 2026.
