Habitat Conservation Workshop
We are excited to welcome you back for the 2026 NL Habitat Conservation Workshop! This year's focus will be on Species at Risk Habitat. This workshop is open to various levels of government, Indigenous communities, ENGOs, industry representatives, and other habitat conservation practitioners. Invitations have been sent out, if you are interested in attending and did not receive an invitation, please email samconservation@gmail.com.
The 2025 Inaugural NL Habitat Conservation Workshop aspired to be a gathering of those involved in and dedicated to the management and conservation of natural lands/wildlife habitat in the province. This workshop brought together a strong community of practice to: promote knowledge sharing, foster collaboration, and ultimately advance action to stimulate solutions to identified issues. The goal of this workshop was to sustainably manage, in particular, our natural lands, for future generations. 2025's theme was focused on provincial wetland management practices and policy with the goal of starting a Wetland Policy Working Group.
Goals of the Workshop:
-
Raise Awareness: Highlight current initiatives and best practices in habitat conservation and land management.
-
Advance Action: Foster collaboration and develop strategies to accelerate habitat conservation efforts.
