All applications must be submitted through the Conservation Certification website.

If you are new to Conservation Certification, WHC strongly recommends starting with one of our interactive orientation guides, designed for either Site-level or Corporate-level contacts.

Once you have joined the certification website, it is important to have a good understanding of the different project types. After adding the appropriate projects to your program, you and your team will be able to enter information about each project in the project application forms.

WHC has compiled some tips and considerations to help you create a strong program and application. WHC also recommends consulting the Requirements and Scoring Sheet sections of this website as you develop your program for additional information on how your application will be evaluated.

Once you have added information to all of your projects, you will be ready to finalize and submit your application. Keep the application deadlines in mind and generate an invoice in advance if you will not be paying the application fee by credit card when you submit your application.
