In its own words
Protecting and preserving land and watercourses that have recognized local and regional ecological value. Promoting facilitating and engaging in land stewardship activities through public events and community outreach. Undertaking research and enhancing habitat for native species including rare and endangered species. These programs all support our mandate: to obtain land (by way of donation purchase or by having restrictions placed on the land) for protecting habitat and wildlife.
