An island shaped by nature.

Bowen Island / Nexwlélexwm is a small island with an extraordinary variety of life. Forests, wetlands, creeks, shorelines, bluffs, gardens, and neighbourhood green spaces form one connected living system. Much of what makes the island special remains healthy. But growing pressure, habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, and increasing use are changing the conditions that plants and wildlife depend on. The Conservancy works to understand what is here, protect what matters most, care for the lands entrusted to us, and help build a wider culture of care across the island.

A unique Bowen ecosystem preserved for life

PILEATED WOODPECKER

Dryocopus pileatus

A KEYSTONE SPECIES is one which provides habitat or food for other species, often underpinning a full ecosystem. By excavating holes in old trees, these insect eaters provide homes for mammals and birds. 

Invasive Holly and Broom bushes replace trees that woodpeckers can use. Join the conservancy and help us weed them out.

We'd love to hear from you.
