The Nature Trust of British Columbia is a leading land conservation organization based in BC. We acquire ecologically significant land through purchase, donation, covenant and lease. Then we care for this land in order to protect the natural diversity of wildlife and plants, and their critical habitats. Since 1971, The Nature Trust along with our partners has invested more than $70 million to secure over 69,000 hectares (170,000 acres) of land. This includes over 23,000 hectares (56,000 acres) that is owned, leased or covenanted and over 46,000 hectares (113,000 acres) that is under grazing licenses for our Biodiversity Ranches in the Okanagan.

SALTS was organized under the belief that the most effective and lasting conservation solutions both originate and are maintained at the community level through empowering individuals with the necessary tools and vision. It is a rancher-driven trust that focuses its efforts in four areas: >> Education and Public Policy >> Conservation Easements >> Ecosystem Study and Protection >> Range Management and Monitoring

LPBLT was established in 1996 to protect and restore lands with significant ecological and cultural heritage qualities in the greater Long Point area, including Norfolk County, western Haldimand and eastern Elgin Counties, and parts of Brant and Oxford. The Trust focuses its efforts in one of the richest areas for biodiversity in Canada. Despite being a relatively densely populated and developed region, there remains enough habitat in this southern Great Lakes area to support populations of many significant species. The central Carolinian Region is internationally significant because of the species and habitats which occur (many rare or at risk); in addition, the Lake Erie drainage provides important water resource for communities in Canada and the United States. Long Point Basin Land Trust owns several nature reserve properties and leads a major multi-year effort to protect and recover reptile populations. LPBLT has recently launched a campaign to secure its fourth nature reserve.

Working with local grassroots charities and NGOs in 13 countries across the globe, the Global Vision International (GVI) Charitable Trust manages and raises funds for numerous long-term programs. These funds are used to support our local partners with the aims of alleviating poverty, illiteracy, environmental degradation and climate change.

Because democracies rely upon a well-educated citizenry, CCLET’s mission is to engage Canadians in developing the habits they need to participate in the democratic process. Among the outreach programmes of the Canadian Civil Liberties Trust are Civil Liberties in the Schools and Teaching Civil Liberties. These programs focus on getting students to ask critical questions about their rights and freedoms. By shining the light of inquiry on unfairness, we begin the process of change. Through CCLET guest speakers, conferences, and workshops for schools and community organizations, participants are engaged in lively discussions about their rights and freedoms and the important legal and civil liberties issues created by a pluralistic society. Particular emphasis is on providing programmes for student teachers, and high school law and social studies students.

GaLTT has a multi-year plan to establish a continuous system of public trails from one end of the island to the other between Descanso Bay and Drumbeg Provincial Park. We're very close to our goal now but negotiations with private landowners and government bodies are in progress, and we hope to achieve our goal SOON. Gabriola Land & Trails Trust (GaLTT) is successfully achieving objectives as shown by the strategic plan on our website. This past year (2012) has been productive. We have implemented numerous trail licences to provide public access across private lands. Licensed trails are one of the ways used to provide trail linkages in our community. Many trails and shore accesses are provided on undeveloped road allowances. Protection of island ecosystems is enhanced through securing conservation covenants (easements), and through advocacy in favour of parks and conservation. We have established land acquisition fund for the future purchase of lands.
