ALUS is a national charitable organization delivering farmer-led conservation across Canada. Founded in 2006, ALUS is Canada’s only farmer-governed charitable organization, working with farmers and communities to create and restore wetlands, grasslands, riparian areas and wildlife habitat on working farmland. Through community-based Partnership Advisory Committees, each with at least 50% farmer membership, ALUS supports nature-based projects that improve water quality, strengthen biodiversity and build more resilient landscapes and communities. Today, more than 2,200 farmers participate in ALUS across 42 communities, supporting more than 57,000 acres of nature on farms.
