Conserving Private Lands in Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound

June 11th, 2025 - 3:00-4:30 pm - Zoom

You are invited to our informative and interactive webinar for private landowners to learn about legal tools to protect important ecosystems. Ben van Drimmelan, who wrote the book BC Covenant Handbook: A Guide to Best Practices for Conservation Covenants in BC, will present and answer questions. We will have Howe Sound examples and updates on the Howe Sound Biosphere's Other Effective Conservation Measures project, contributing to Canada’s 30 X 30 target. 

Conservation Covenants are useful legal tools for protecting ecologically significant private land. They can also protect other special attributes of land, such as cultural and heritage values.

Ben van Drimmelen is a retired biologist, forester, and lawyer living in Victoria. The BC Conservation Covenant Handbook was originally published in 2000 and is periodically updated and revised. It is edited and published by the West Coast Environmental Law Research Foundation and the Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia.
