The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is Canada's leading national land conservation organization. We are a private, non-profit group that partners with corporate and individual landowners to achieve the direct protection of our most important natural treasures, Canada's Natural Masterpieces, through land donation, purchase and conservation easement. We also secure mineral rights and timber rights on properties.

VISION

The Nature Conservancy of Canada will protect areas of biological diversity for their intrinsic value and for the benefit of future generations.

MISSION

A Nature Legacy Through Partnership

To accomplish this mission, the Nature Conservancy of Canada will lead, innovate and use creativity in the conservation of Canada’s natural heritage by securing ecologically significant natural areas through purchases, donations, conservation agreements, or other mechanisms, and by achieving long-term stewardship through management plans and monitoring arrangements.

VALUES

we share and apply values that reflect this philosophy:

* We are guided by the best available conservation science;

* We work in a non-confrontational manner;

* We manage lands and waters for their intrinsic, natural values;

* We respect and promote nature’s own processes of growth, succession and interaction;

* We recognize the need to create avenues for people to sustain themselves and live productively while conserving biological diversity.
