One goal of Natural Legacies is to provide legal information that may be of assistance to land trusts, professionals and land owners. This research is not meant as legal opinion but rather as a background to current information on specific topics. Legal advice should always be sought in matters that pertain to conservation activities. LTABC is grateful to The Law Foundation of BC for providing funding to assist with this research. Pro Bono at the University of Victoria was instrumental in undertaking research. Funding for this project was provided by the Law Foundation of BC.
