Natural Legacies: Your Guide to Conserving Land in BC
In 2014, the Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia embarked on an ambitious project known as the BC Conservation Toolkit. This project, identified by the Board of Directors in LTABC’s strategic plan, was designed to gather information of conservation in a simple, easy-to-use format for landowners, land trusts, professionals and municipalities. Focus groups, surveys, an advisory Board and individuals were engaged during the process which informed priority areas for the “toolkit.”
Funding was secured through the generosity of:
The Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia
The Vancouver Foundation
The Victoria Foundation
Environment Canada
TIDES Canada
The Law Foundation of British Columbia
Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia
Province of British Columbia
Through consultation the project was renamed Natural Legacies: Your Educational Guide to Conservation in BC.
Initial work has been done on planned giving, legal resources and FAQ sheets on topics such as covenants. Natural Legacies is an ongoing project and will be added to as resources are identified and funding secured.
We are pleased to launch the initiative with the introduction of Green Legacies: A Donor’s Guide for BC. This is a joint effort by LTABC and Give Green Canada. Copies of this publication may be obained by either contacting LTABC, accessing the ‘Legal Education’ page, or may be available online HERE.
