What your community has helped fund

North Shore and Sea-to-Sky corridor donors have backed conservation work that reaches from Howe Sound to Whistler. Here’s what your community has helped fund:

Protected critical grizzly habitat. 46.5 hectares of riverfront habitat protected, helping reconnect threatened grizzly bear populations and support their long-term recovery.

Strengthened beloved parks and trails. Priority investments improved safety, access, and stewardship across more than 100 regional sites and trails.

Delivered real upgrades on the ground. 32 sites improved, 3.7 km of trail upgraded, and new bridges, toilets, and signage added to help protect nature and improve visitor experience.

Welcomed more people into nature. Discover Parks Ambassadors connected with more than 15,000 visitors across six parks, helping people feel informed, confident, and at home outdoors.

Your gift protects the places that shape us. Donate today.

“The parks have given so much to our family. We need to give back, too. I want these protected places to be enjoyed for generations to come.”
