The Bilston Conservation Corridor

BC’s dry Coastal Douglas-fir ecosystem is highly endangered due to ongoing development and urbanization. The newly protected land is habitat for keystone mammal species like bears, cougars and wolves as well as species at risk, such as sharp-tailed snakes. The property includes wetlands, mature forest and upland manzanita scrub.
Work continues to fundraise and secure additional parcels of land for the Bilston Conservation Corridor via conservation covenants. The below video explains this project in detail. Please contact the Metchosin Foundation to find out how you can help.

Moralea's Meadow

This Garry Oak Meadow on the Metchosin Municipal grounds is being restored and replanted with native species in memory of Moralea Milne. Moralea was an ardent advocate for the environment and long term Metchosin District Councillor. Her sudden death shocked the community, and now volunteers and donors work to complete this beautiful meadow. Metchosin Foundation has supported this worthy project since its inception.
