The Greenways Land Trust's area of interest extends from the Oyster River to the Eve River, and from the Mainland Inlets to the Insular Mountains, with a particular focus on the District of Campbell River. Visit our website to see the many projects and campaigns that we have underway, all of which help to acheive our goals of: * Working as an agency to accept and manage environmentally sensitive land, * Acting as a community resource centre on issues of land and stream stewardship, and * Working with area municipal governments, community stewardship groups and landowners to plan and develop a Greenways Habitat Corridor System.

The HALO Trust helps countries recover after conflict. Clearing landmines, to save lives, is at the heart of what we do. We work with communities that are too often forgotten once the fighting has ended, a point reinforced by Princess Diana after her visit to Angola in 1997. But the nature of conflict has evolved, so too has the dangerous debris left behind when the fighting is over. As well as clearing landmines, we deal with unexploded ordnance, from bullets to aircraft bombs, and we educate communities to keep them safe. We also build safe arms stores and systems for securing guns.

World Fisheries Trust acts locally and globally, using a multidisciplinary approach to match solutions to problems; not problems to solutions. The organization is not an activist group, but rather works as an honest broker with all points of view and creditable scientific evidence. We do scientific and social research, contribute to policy development and work on field implementation of solutions. Our particular expertise includes bridging the divide between technical solutions and societal realities, including tools for enhancing community engagement, public awareness, and societal equity. The combination of local and international projects provides unique insights for this work, as well as providing a conduit between Canadian and international partners.

The Community of the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Region embraces the Nuu-chah–nulth First Nations "living" philosophies of Iisaak (Living respectfully), Qwa' aak qin teechmis (Life in the balance), and Hishuk ish ts'awalk (Everything is one and interconnected). This vision was articulated to the CBT during public consultations with the residents of the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Region Community. The Clayoquot Biosphere Trust supports local research, education, and training that is consistent with a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve's objectives of conservation and community health. The CBT is responsible for initiating educational, scientific and cultural projects and programs in the region, as well as providing financial support to other eligible organizations. The CBT was established to represent the region of the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve including communities adjacent to the Biosphere Reserve Boundaries.

Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT) works in partnership with governments, non-profits, communities, schools and landowners to enhance habitat protection on public and private land - making everyone part of the solution! Established in 1996, HAT's mandate is to protect natural environments on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, a spectacular part of Canada in the south-west corner of British Columbia. This is a special part of Canada where the warm, mild climate is home to species and habitats that cannot be found elsewhere in Canada - and some of these ecosystems and species are the most endangered in the country. A disproportionate number of BC's threatened and endangered species occur in the region, which also has a disproportionate amount of BC's private lands. HAT works to protect land permanently through: * land acquisition through purchase or donation; * conservation covenants; * education & stewardship. Thank you for your support!

A charitable, non-governmental organization that: • Accepts donations of significant natural land and cares for it in perpetuity • Enters into conservation agreements with land owners and ensures that provisions designed to protect the natural character of the land are upheld • Coordinates land stewardship activities across the lands in our care • Helps people to learn more about the ecological, social, cultural and economic benefits of land conservation and encourages them to become involved in this important work • Collaborates with a broad range of partners, including community groups, private sector organizations, individuals and all levels of government in support of conservation in the Kawarthas • Promotes a viable natural environment for the long-term

OFT actively protects farmland by working directly with landowners who have a desire to see their farms permanently protected for agriculture. We offer both landowners and community groups tools, such as farmland conservation easements, that can be used to protect individual properties of value to them. OFT also assists in raising awareness of the impacts of farmland loss, the need for greater farmland preservation and the importance of land stewardship. We provide ongoing volunteer and learning opportunities and encourage collaboration amongst diverse stakeholders, including farmers, local food groups, land use planners, health advocates and government.
