Pender Islands Conservancy
Imagine a Pender Islands where every resident is a steward of this precious place. That's the future we're building — through hands-on science, shared stewardship and education that brings people closer to the land and the Salish Sea that surrounds them.
As a registered land trust, the Pender Islands Conservancy Association protects the rare ecosystems that make these islands special — coastal Douglas-fir forests, Garry oak meadows and wetlands that are home to plants and animals found almost nowhere else. Through land conservation we safeguard habitat for species at risk and keep these wild places thriving for the generations to come.
