Conservation Agreement
SARPAL aims to provide long-term protection for important SAR habitat on Ontario farmland through the use of Conservation Agreements. Before funding can be released, approved SARPAL applicants are required to sign a Conservation Agreement with Environment and Climate Change Canada.
In the Agreement, participants commit to implement and maintain the approved project for a period of time – usually 1 to 5 years depending on the BMP. The participant also commits to monitor the project for the length of the agreement.
The goal of the Conservation Agreement is to ensure long-term protection of habitat for the 12 target SAR. The Agreement is not on title, but producers must notify OSCIA (who will in turn inform ECCC) of changes in land ownership or control.
