Ontario Budget includes $20 million over four years to the Greenlands Conservation Partnership
March 26, 2024
Ontario Land Trust Alliance celebrates the Province of Ontario’s budget announcement of $20 million over 4 years towards land conservation across Ontario through the Greenlands Conservation Partnership. The Greenlands Conservation Partnership is the single largest provincial fund to secure private land in Ontario. Since launching in 2020, the program has protected nearly 167,000 hectares (approximately 412,000 acres) of land across the province.
In the first four years of the program, local and community land trusts created 65 new projects that conserve sensitive ecosystems and protect habitats for 108 species at risk, including 34 newly secured properties that provide public access and increase the availability of green spaces for Ontarians to enjoy. Partners of this program, including OLTA, will build on the real measurable benefits already seen.
