We're developing a Land Conservation Strategy and want to hear from you!
The Strategy will guide how we identify, care for, and expand protected natural areas so that nature and people thrive, with a goal of conserving 20% of municipal lands by 2030. Our Land Conservation Strategy will combine local knowledge and science to map high-priority areas and outlines tools we can use such as purchasing land, accepting donations of land, applying conservation easements, partnering with land trusts, entering stewardship agreements, and developing supportive land use policies. We are engaging residents to ensure the Land Conservation Strategy reflects local priorities, lived experience, and the places people value.
We want to understand the social, cultural, historical, and community benefits provided from and current barriers of accessing land and water for people across the municipality, alongside ecological science. Fill out our survey today! https://engage.modl.ca/conservation
