Project Summary
The Canadian prairie provinces are home to tremendously important natural systems, numerous landowners dedicated to protecting those systems, and dozens of incentive programs to help them do so.
However, landowners can struggle to find the available incentive programs, especially those that match their land and their conservation goals.
To address this dilemma, the Nature Conservancy of Canada asked the Corvus Centre to build off of Birds Canada's excellent print resource, the Prairie Conservation Incentives Guide, and develop a web-based tool that would make it easy for prairie landowners to find conservation incentive programs.
The result was the Conservation Incentive Finder web tool, and a report that analyzes landowner motivations and available programs, and offers recommendations to address barriers.
