In 2019 we celebrated our 30th anniversary – an amazing milestone in our work for community conservation on Galiano!

Just over 30 years ago, more than half of Galiano’s land base was owned by one forestry company. A group of concerned community members came together to protect the forest from clear cutting for the community’s long-term benefit. As the first land trust in the Southern Gulf Islands, the Galiano Conservancy was born of this island community’s desire to shape its own ecological future.

We envision a future where ecosystem health and human health mutually support each other in the lands and waters of Galiano Island, inspiring sustainable living on the island and beyond.

Since 1989 our programs have expanded to support conservation in several critical ways. We protect land through acquisition or covenant, to ensure intact, healthy ecosystems and connectivity for Galiano in perpetuity. We restore damaged lands because these too can contribute to a more resilient island ecology and mitigate climate change. We focus conservation projects on species at risk that need on-the-ground action to re-establish and flourish. Through our nature-based learning programs, children, youth and adults foster a love of nature, access tools to make a difference, and find mentorship and inspiration to become the next generation of environmental leaders. Programs offer hands-on learning in renewable energy, permaculture and sustainable food systems, restoration, marine and forest ecology and more.

Looking forward to the next 30 years, this is an opportunity to come together and focus our efforts on an inclusive, healthy and resilient future.
