Protecting and Stewarding Nature
Property acquisition, conservation covenants, and community-led habitat stewardship in the Discovery Islands
Who We Are
Quadra Island Conservancy and Stewardship Society is a non-profit based in the Discovery Islands on the unceded territory of the Wei Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, Xwémalhkwu, Klahoose, Tla’amin, and Comox Nations. Founded in 1990, we protect and care for the land by acquiring and protecting ecologically-sensitive properties, holding and monitoring conservation covenants, and engaging the community in hands-on habitat stewardship and ecological restoration in public green spaces.
