NWT’s $375M conservation trust reports back on spending for first time Eshana Gohil Thursday October 22, 2026 at 3:22pm MT Our Land for the Future Trust chief executive officer Dahti Tsetso.
More than half of the $18.4 million distributed by the Our Land for the Future Trust in its first year went toward Indigenous Guardian programs across the Northwest Territories.
The funding supported the launch of eight new Guardian programs and the continuation of 10 existing ones, alongside efforts to establish and manage protected areas, the trust said in its first annual report since being created.
Established in 2024, the Our Land for the Future Trust manages $375 million provided by the federal government and private donors for initiatives involving 21 Indigenous governments and organizations.
The trust began distributing funding toward the end of the 2025-26 fiscal year.
