Community Partner Funding

The cost of running a Green Team project is approximately $24,000 (2011-2012 figures). Successful Community Partners must commit 12.5% of this cost ($3,000) as well as materials and supplies needed for the project; the Conservation Corps, with financial support from the Department of Human Resources, Labour and Employment provides the other 87.5% ($21,000). In the Corporate Green Team program, business partners sponsor their own Team or support one in an otherwise unfunded community project.

The NL Nature Atlas is an interactive website that showcases Labrador’s unique natural landscapes. Using the Atlas you can explore information about the region’s plants and animals, make maps, download spatial information, and collaborate with others. This is the first geographical tool of its kind in Newfoundland and Labrador, and is the result of a collaboration between NCC and Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Join us as guest speakers share their experiences with Labrador nature while taking you on a live geo-tour using the NL Nature Atlas. You will also have the opportunity to win prizes by taking our interactive trivia challenge. Snacks and refreshments will be served.

We hope you can join us in telling the story at one of the following events.
