The Conservation Excellence Certification Program is your pathway to elevating your organization’s impact and credibility in the world of land conservation.

By becoming certified, your organization demonstrates its commitment to meeting and exceeding the highest standards in conservation, with evaluations based on the Canadian Land Trust Standards and Practices.

The Certification Program leverages the expertise and best practices of the land trust sector across critical areas such as board governance, financial accountability, land stewardship, land securement, and organizational management. This framework supports land trusts in elevating their practices, with the option to further showcase their dedication to excellence by achieving certification through a rigorous, independent peer review process.

Our mission is to grow and strengthen respectful land conservation and stewardship through collaboration, research, innovation, and the promotion of responsible practices.

SILT is a member of the Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia (LTABC) representing 35 land trust members across the province. Associate members (consultants, environmental groups and individuals) bring our total membership to one hundred. Since 1997 when LTABC was established, we have developed educational, research and resource programs that have helped conservation groups steward, protect and restore BC’s natural and cultural diversity.

We are a non-profit registered Society dedicated to the protection and enhancement of wild sheep and wild sheep habitat throughout “Beautiful British Columbia”.

The WSSBC was formed in 1998 by a group of dedicated sportsmen and women that recognized the challenges wild sheep face, and decided to take action. They believed it was their responsibility to protect the species they had come to admire. Since then, the Society has grown to hundreds of members provincially and internationally whose crucial funds and volunteer time are funnelled into projects around BC with the goal of “Putting More Sheep On The Mountains”.
