Stewarding land

Caring for conservation lands, today and tomorrow

Stewardship for generations

Securing a conservation area is only the first step. Through active management and stewardship, we restore habitats, strengthen ecosystems, and help native flora and fauna to thrive and persist. 

Guided by science

We use the best available science to manage and restore all of our conservation lands. Our staff, including scientists and land managers, consult and work with regional biologists and contractors to ensure best practices are the cornerstone of our work and that we stay well-versed in emerging methods and technologies.

Buying the land is just the start

Once a conservation area has been secured, our land management staff set out to protect and restore sensitive ecosystems and wildlife habitat on the site. This work includes activities such as removing invasive plants, planting native species and enhancing habitat features, thinning overgrown forests, monitoring species, and overall conservation area ecological condition. 

Working with partners

Our land management staff engage a broad network of partners — local communities, First Nations, various levels of government, conservation agencies, naturalist groups, fish and game clubs, and individuals — to develop strong conservation plans and carry out meaningful stewardship work on the ground.
