RDNO launches North Okanagan Conservation Fund

Local registered non-profits with a focus on the environment are encouraged to apply for a new conservation fund in the North Okanagan.

The North Okanagan Conservation Fund is a dedicated source of funding for the specific purpose of undertaking environmental conservation projects. The fund will help communities ensure the sustainability of our environment and protect quality of life. The 2020/2021 fund will provide over $80,000 to eligible conservation projects.

The deadline to apply is Sept. 30, 2020.

“We need to keep nature in our future since a healthy environment supports a healthy community, clean drinking water, and a healthy economy,” said Kevin Acton, Chair of the RDNO Board of Directors. “Conservation in one area benefits your neighbours in other communities, and throughout the Okanagan Valley, after all, we are One Region, with One Future.”
