Priority Project: Salmon River Tidal Slough
Since 1978 The Nature Trust of BC and our partners have conserved 516 acres of land along the Salmon River on Vancouver Island. This river provides vital habitat for Pacific salmon, migratory birds, and iconic wildlife like Roosevelt Elk.
We are working to add 35 acres of land to our Salmon River Estuary Complex.

Notes From the Field:
An interview with Sonja Panozzo, Field Technician
The Enhancing Estuary Resilience project is in full swing. Nature Trust scientists and crews are working hard installing equipment and monitoring the effects of climate change on 15 estuaries on the British Columbia coast.

Estuaries and coastal wetlands comprise less than 3% of BC’s coastline, yet they support over 80% of BC’s coastal fish and wildlife, and provide vital habitat for Pacific salmon.

We sat down with Nature Trust Field Technician Sonja Panozzo to talk about estuaries, field work, and the Enhancing Estuary Resilience project. Read our interview here.
Monthly Donations & Great Canadian Giving Challenge
Looking for a way to help? We have a solution.

Monthly gifts provide a way for you to make a manageable gift and provide great support for The Nature Trust. As a monthly donor, you will join a community of donors known as our Arbutus Circle.

We chose the Arbutus tree to symbolize our monthly program because this tree is special in so many ways with its curving trunk & branches, evergreen broad leaves and peeling red bark. 
Take up the challenge! Donate via Canada Helps to The Nature Trust or any registered Canadian charity in June and automatically enter them to win a $20,000 donation.
