The Government of Canada has supported the Nature Trust through various programs and initiatives, to provide post-secondary students with fulfilling and educational internships. These interns help the Nature Trust deliver our mission to conserve, steward, and engage while providing them with the opportunity to get hands-on skills in their field.

Since 2012, Wildlife Habitat Canada has supported the Nature Trust on projects including the Lower Saint John River Habitat Conservation Strategy through a landowner outreach program, stewardship group building workshops, wetland restoration, and the development of the Landowner Stewardship Program.

For over a decade, Environment & Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has supported the Nature Trust on several projects including Species at Risk habitat stewardship, conservation of preserves that protect habitat for Species at Risk, stewardship group building, and initiatives to restore and clean nature preserves around New Brunswick.
