Up to 100% Funding Available on Agricultural Land in Durham Region
Durham Region and its five local Conservation Authorities—Central Lake Ontario, Ganaraska Region, Kawartha, Lake Simcoe Region, and Toronto and Region —have collaborated to form the Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program (RALP), a subsidized farmland enhancement program for agricultural landowners.
If you own agricultural land in Durham Region and wish to conduct Best Management Practices on your farm, up to 100% funding is available for eligible projects*, including:
Tree Planting
Wetland Restoration
Grassland Restoration
Pollinator Strips
Pollinator Intercropping
Approximately 47% of Durham Region is active agricultural land. Recognizing the importance of supporting enhancements of these privately owned lands, RALP offers subsidies for environmental improvements that increase crop yields through erosion reduction, salinity management, and pollination enhancement, or provide natural shelter for livestock while contributing to a more resilient climate-ready future.
