Funding, News and Announcements

The Habitat Conservation Fund was established under the Nova Scotia Wildlife Act to help protect and enhance wildlife habitats.

Applications can be submitted through this link.

A couple changes to note:

• The application guide [PDF] is now a separate document from the application form [Word].
• The Word application form is reformatted, but is essentially the same as previous, but with a few additions:
  • There is an additional question to track previous submissions of a similar project;
  • There is a section on Species at Risk, which is only relevant if your application addresses SAR species (not a requirement of the Fund);
  • The budget and activity tables have been moved to an Excel file (attached). There are three tabs to be completed; you can add rows to the tables, as required.
• The 1) Application form, 2) Budget activity table, 3) PDF of your Conflict of Interest statement (where required) and 4) PDF of supporting letters (all combined into one file), can all be uploaded at the online submission link.
