Nature Conservation/Nature Strategy The lobbying focuses on priorities for nature conservation programs and practices in relation to private lands. This includes programs related to the land trusts, conservancies and similar organizations, and to land stewardship organizations, for example, those focused on agriculture and woodlots. Nature Conservation/Nature Strategy The Centre for Land Conservation seeks funding and occasionally is approached by federal officials to submit a 'request for proposal' in matters related to nature conservation. Funding supports activities associated with standards and practices for land conservation organizations, including conservation excellence certification. Funding also supports conservation policy research related to the land conservation sector specifically, and conservation policy matters more generally, particularly in relation to private lands.
