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!

The network originally paralleled the Corner Brook Stream, and has since expanded to interconnect key areas of the city providing a green transportation alternative. This river system flows through the city providing industrial and potable water, while also giving walkers a respite from city life within its natural corridor. The stream is also home to successful reintroduction of a sustaining run of Atlantic salmon. The trail system has been instrumental in influencing healthy lifestyle choices; providing recreational opportunities such as birdwatching, snowshoeing, skiing, jogging, geocaching, orienteering, swimming, etc. CBSDC has also partnered with local schools and educational facilities to assist in programming and use of the trails as a venue for a variety of academic pursuits.

TWO WHEEL VIEW believes that all youth should have the opportunity to expand their physical and cultural boundaries. There are many youth, due to financial or social limitations, that are never exposed to what may provide the greatest source of learning – real life experiences that bring home valuable insights and logical steps for positive change. By exposing young people to new challenges, other cultures and diverse environments through an intense hands-on experience, TWO WHEEL VIEW believes we can open young people's eyes to new ways of thinking and positively impact them to create positive change in their own lives and communities for the future. TWO WHEEL VIEW offers a range of programs from local after-school programs to international bicycle expeditions. All programs are free for youth and are supported through individual donations, grants, and volunteer support.

Community Forests International works to connect people and their communities to the forests that sustain them. As the pace of global environmental degradation intensifies, the need for positive environmental stewardship and a balance between humanity and nature has become a necessity. Community Forests International was formed when a group of fishermen in Pemba, Tanzania felt the need to alleviate pressure on the environment. To provide food and timber sustainably, hundreds of Pembans began planting trees in a process of restoration. Today, Pembans plant over 100,000 trees annually for the provision of fruit, nuts, timber and increased habitat while improving the conditions of their environment. Building on the belief that a communities can motivate for positive change, CFl has grown to support over 12 communities in Pemba, Tanzania, while initiating climate change education world-wide. In 2009, Community Forests International began programming in its home country, Canada.
