The purchase connects more than 4,300 acres of protected lands to Baynes Sound, creating a “continuous conservation corridor from inland forests to the Salish Sea,” executive director of the CVLT Tim Ennis said previously.

Andy Day, CEO of BC Parks, said conservation efforts like this take years of planning and advocacy to make a reality.

“The CVLT had its eye on this property for more than a decade. The NALT joined the effort, the Wilson 5 Foundation and our donors stepped up, and the community came together to make it happen. Thanks to that shared effort, this coastline and the wildlife that depends on it will benefit for generations.”

The release said the property’s former owners, who have been on the land for generations, are “delighted that this special stretch of undeveloped coastline will remain protected.”

More information can be found here at the BC Parks Foundation website, or at the CVLT or the Nanaimo Area Land Trust websites.
