Stewardship 2021

The Mayne Island Conservancy leads several programs to support land stewards: public education events, native plant nursery, habitat restoration of public parks, and free landowner consultations. To continue this valuable role, we need your help! 

Grant funding has decreased this year as governments and foundations focus on the social and economic impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We currently face a $22,000 shortfall to deliver those programs in 2021. Please consider donating this year in support of our Stewardship Programs.
