TDC Conservation Areas

In Alberta, lands which are the focus of conservation action within a Transfer of Development Credits program are called “TDC Conservation Areas.” You will also hear these lands referred to generically as “Sending Areas”, as these are the parcels from which TDC credits are sent to the TDC Development Areas. This section describes in greater detail what kinds of decisions need to be made in designating these areas, and what considerations should guide those decisions.
