Performance Assurance Program
Standards and practices, when supported by a verification program, can provide a means to validate the quality of an organization's work, enhance credibility and build public, investor and government trust. CLC is currently developing such a program for private land conservation organizations in Canada.
Is your organization interested in participating? Fill out our Expression of interest form.
We are also seeking volunteer experts to help assess organizations and provide advice. If you are an expert in one or more areas related to conservation and interested in volunteering, please let us know via the form here.
