Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust (DF&WT or the Trust) is a non-profit charitable society established in Delta, BC in 1993. Our board of directors represents a partnership of farmers, naturalists, and community-minded individuals working co-operatively as a team to find solutions to land-use problems on farmland in the community. Recognising the significance of the Fraser delta to large numbers of migratory and resident birds, the Trust was formed to empower local farmers and naturalists to co-operatively implement farm stewardship programs and promote sustainable agriculture. The Trust, along with many local residents, believes that the survival of the soil-based agricultural industry in Delta is essential to the survival of the nationally and internationally important species of wildlife in this area. With this in mind, we work with farmers on a cost-shared basis to encourage sustainable farming practices that consider wildlife needs.

OLTA supports the efforts of 35 land trusts across Ontario. Fuelled by more than 100,000 volunteers, OLTA members have conserved over 80,000 acres across Ontario - and their impact continues to grow. Land trusts are locally-based, often volunteer-led, charities that work tirelessly to conserve special lands and waters in their communities - forever. Established and driven by community members, land trusts are well positioned to work with private landowners and other local stakeholders to realize shared conservation objectives and help build a nature legacy for current and future generations to enjoy.

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.

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.
