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.

The Nature Trust of BC is a non-profit land conservation organization. We acquire critical habitat for vulnerable wildlife and plants.



The Nature Trust of BC has the opportunity to purchase 36 acres (15 hectares) of undeveloped land along the Little Qualicum River. This project presents the opportunity to begin a new conservation complex in one of the most at-risk zones of the province: the Coastal Douglas-fir (CDF) biogeoclimatic zone. 

The Little Qualicum River is an important salmon spawning river on the mid-east coast of Vancouver Island and it provides spawning and rearing habitat for Chinook, Coho, Chum and Steelhead. Coastal Cutthroat Trout also use this river. These fish contribute to a vibrant ecosystem which is home to many endangered species.
