Formed in 1989 as an instrument for community-based acquisition, management
and conservation of land and habitat, the Conservancy Association
has become a broad-based organization whose primary purpose is "To
preserve, protect and enhance the quality of the human and natural
environment" on Galiano Island. From its beginning, the Conservancy
has been devoted to:
1) land and marine conservation
2) stewardship and restoration; and
3) environmental education and public awareness
The Galiano Conservancy prides itself in being a democratic grassroots organization. The Board of Directors (currently 14 people) is elected from a diverse membership of over 200. The monthly Board meetings are publicly advertised and open for members to attend. The Conservancy has a committed staff who helps carry out its purposes.
Throughout its history the Conservancy has worked cooperatively with local landowners and residents. Through our mapping project we have developed an active program of conservation planning. In addition we have

developed partnerships and working relationships with a variety of local, national and international organizations, and received grants and donations from governments, foundations and industry. The Galiano Conservancy will continue to build on its achievements and work for the benefit of the local environment and community.
