In this virtual presentation, Zach and Jonathan will provide an overview of municipal habitat stewardship in Newfoundland and Labrador. Municipalities manage large areas of land, some of which is productive wildlife habitat. The Wildlife Division, Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture, and the Stewardship Association of Municipalities (SAM) Inc. work in partnership to identify wildlife habitat and to encourage municipalities in conservation efforts through public habitat stewardship agreements and provisions in Municipal Plans and Development Regulations. Since the first agreement signed in 1993, SAM has supported over 50 communities in NL, helping to conserve approximately 70,000 acres of important biodiverse habitat.
