Conservation group says it needs the money for the 38.7 hectares of mature Douglas fir forest by the end of the year
The Nature Trust of B.C. is aiming to raise $1 million by the end of the year to purchase 38.7 hectares of mature Douglas fir forest on Denman Island.
The land is located adjacent to a Denman Conservancy Association conservation area called Central Park, and the Denman Island Provincial Park and Protected Area. Acquiring the 38.7 hectare property would increase the conserved area to 187 hectares that will never be sold or developed, the Nature Trust said.
Coastal rainforests are some of the wettest non-tropical ecosystems on Earth, said Nature Trust of B.C. chief executive Jasper Lament, who called the Denman Island coastal rainforest an “ecological powerhouse” that provides tremendous benefits to wildlife, people and the planet. “It is so important that we join together to protect these vital ecosystems and combat climate change and biodiversity loss.
