Promoting and supporting environmental stewardship is at the core of the Metchosin Foundation’s aims, objectives, and registered charitable purposes. It is facilitated through our multiple and growing community connections and is an important focus area in our support for learning. Environmental stewardship is exemplified in our ongoing, multi-year effort to establish conservation corridors that will connect important habitat features and protect biodiversity. It is embodied in our facilitation of and support for the acquisition of designated nature reserves and the registration of conservation covenants, in collaboration with ally agencies and local landowners.
