The second call for proposals is now open for Manitoba’s Conservation Trust.
“The $102-million Conservation Trust is an innovative, forward-thinking approach to invest in projects that enhance natural infrastructure and the environmental goods and services they provide to Manitobans,” said Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires. “With this long-lasting partnership with the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation and The Winnipeg Foundation, we are building a legacy of work that will benefit all Manitobans and ensure Manitoba remains Canada’s cleanest, greenest, most climate-resilient province.”
This fall applicants may be eligible to receive up to $250,000.
Applications may be submitted in four categories:
- Habitat and Wildlife
- Soil Health
- Advancing Innovation and Conservation Planning
- Connecting People to Nature categories.
A separate call for proposals in the Watersheds category will be held at a later date.
The $102 million invested by Manitoba in the Conservation Trust is held in perpetuity by The Winnipeg Foundation. Revenues from the Trust support an annual granting program that is managed by the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation.
