Wildlife Habitat Canada is a national not-for-profit, charitable conservation organization established in 1984. It aims to work through partnerships across communities, landowners, governments, and industries to find solutions for wildlife habitat conservation issues, directed by a diverse board including conservation organization and government agency representatives.
The grant program focuses on supporting projects that align with the goals and priorities of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP), particularly in growing the number of waterfowl hunters, conservationists, and engaged citizens who support waterfowl and wetlands habitat conservation. This includes funding for wetland educational programs and workshops, waterfowl hunter education and recruitment programs, and projects promoting regional or national stewardship. Activities under this grant category are varied but focus on promoting waterfowl hunting and conservation, mentorship in waterfowl hunts, and public engagement in conservation efforts. Grant applications must clearly outline the project curriculum and include a follow-up component to ensure the sustainability and evaluate the success of the program, especially in continuing engagement in hunting and conservation activities.
