Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk (HSP)
Environment and Climate Change Canada · Federal
In plain language
Core federal species-at-risk stewardship fund: $20K–$500K typical range for on-the-ground habitat protection, restoration, and recovery activities. Two streams (terrestrial/aquatic) with distinct applications. 50% cost-share required. Strong fit for NL land trusts, wildlife groups, and Indigenous stewardship orgs — NL has 40+ federally listed species at risk including boreal caribou, piping plover, and Atlantic salmon populations. Included here as "closed" so users can watch for the fall 2026 cycle; contact PIH-HSP@ec.gc.ca to be notified of call openings.
