Here’s an easy-to-do survey that I hope you will complete and share with your contacts. It involves rating your support for a series of statements on a 5-point scale. It comes from the Coastal Douglas-Fir Conservation Partnership and pertains to support for conservation projects on private land in CRD. The deadline is Feb. 2. The key question is:
“Would you support the creation of a publicly funded conservation fund that would financially support projects on private land that create and enhance natural areas and the ecosystem services they provide?”
Survey: Financing Conservation on Private Land in the Capital Region

Click on the green box that says, “Complete the survey.” It’s found in the first section, Year 4 Project.
The purpose of this survey is to gauge the level of community interest for the establishment of a conservation fund that would enable not-for-profit organisations, First Nations and local governments to undertake conservation actions on private property. This funding would assist in supporting community priorities for the maintenance and restoration of forests, wetlands, streams, grasslands and the marine foreshore on private land, thus providing communities with resilience to climate change
