The Comox Valley Land Trust works with public and private landowners to protect greenspace, ecosystems and landscape scale connectivity in the Comox Valley. We hold 11 conservation covenants on properties that have ecologically significant geology, aquatic features, connectivity, flora and fauna. We also work proactively with Government and the development community to modernize and streamline environmentally friendly land use practices, low impact development technologies and rainwater management.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy currently protects over 2200 acres of wilderness, including Blueberry Mountain, one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County. This property receives hundreds of local, Canadian and international visitors annually, demonstrating how MMLTC influences communities beyond its catchment area. While faithful to its core land conservation mission, MMLTC is also committed to providing the both rural and urban communities opportunities to take advantage of the full educational, physical, mental and spiritual benefits of immersion in the rich natural worlds of these wilderness properties. This more holistic community approach encourages the healthy integration of Nature into daily life and fosters support for conservation and the environment.

UVLT mission is to conserve, protect and steward our region’s lands for the health and resilience of nature and people: • Conserve lands that contribute to vibrancy and resilience of the Upper Valley (people and nature) now and in the future. Conserve land resilient to climate change; • Uphold conservation protections on the lands we conserve. Responsibly steward the lands we own to protect ecological systems and enhance adaptive capacity; • Engage and inspire people to care for land resources. Be welcoming and inclusive in our work and broaden the relevance of land conservation; • Collaborate with partners across the Upper Valley to pursue a broad, integrated vision of regional health in which conserved land supports and reinforces regional environmental, social and economic goals.

Our signature project is The Waterfront Trail - a 1400 km multi-use route from Quebec to Windsor that has been regenerating waterfronts and revitalizing people for two decades. The trail is now enjoyed by bikers, hikers, and joggers of all ages.
