New Partnership Seeks to Protect Endangered Coastal Douglas-fir Ecosystems

 

Victoria, BC – The unique natural environment of BC’s south coast is disappearing at an alarming rate, sparking coordinated action from a wide range of conservation biologists, concerned citizens and private landowners. A consortium of partners have joined together to form the Coastal Douglas-fir and Associated Ecosystems Conservation Partnership (CDFCP), which aims to increase the level of protection, raise awareness about the plight of BC’s iconic Coastal Douglas-fir forests and associated ecosystems, and to coordinate the actions of governments and other groups working to address this significant conservation issue.

 

Click here to view the news release, fact sheet, and FAQ's.

 

We would be happy to speak in more detail about these efforts to protect BC’s Coastal Douglas-fir forests.

 

Please contact: Tim Ennis, Chair, CDFCP at 250-686-8640 or info@CDFCP.ca

Islands Trust Fund ~ News Release

Three conservation groups have teamed up push a campaign to save an iconic waterfront property in the Gulf Islands into the homestretch.  A Pender Island group is less than $100,000 away from protecting a million dollar property forever.  Since most of the money to protect Brooks Point has come from the local community, the community is now asking people from across B.C. to help complete the project.

Click here to read the news release.  We would be so appreciative if your news agency/organization could help us spread the work about the efforts to save Brooks Point.  If you have any questions about this story, or would like photos for publication, please don’t hesitate to write or call.

Thank you for considering this article.
