Island Nature Trust

Who We Are:

Island Nature Trust is a membership-based, non-government, Canadian charity dedicated to land conservation in Prince Edward Island since 1979.We envision a future where PEI has a network of protected, robust natural areas championed by knowledgeable, engaged Islanders.

Our Vision:

We envision a network of protected natural areas across PEI sustained by the love and generosity of Islanders today for the enjoyment of Islanders and wildlife tomorrow.

What We Do:

In a race against time, our mission is to preserve and steward forever a network of natural areas and wildlife habitats across PEI and bring together those who care about preserving PEI's natural legacy for future generations.

We are a key provider of technical, science-based knowledge on land stewardship and wildlife in PEI for landowners, governments and partner environmental groups.

We provide mentorship and employment opportunities to people committed to land stewardship, conservation research and wildlife monitoring who will continue building on the long tradition of Island Nature Trust as the premiere land trust on the Island.

How We Work:

Island Nature Trust is governed by a volunteer Board of Director's who provide the strategic direction and priorities for the organization. The work on the ground is completed by dedicated and professional staff along with superb volunteer guardians.

Our work is founded upon and guided by the following core values:

1. Care and responsibility for the land: We are committed to environmentally and socially responsible management of natural areas in PEI
2. Integrity and respect: We are dedicated to integrity and respect in all dealings with staff, members, clients and partners
3. Excellence: We are a professional, science-based, strategic-minded organization that is committed to excellence, efficiency and safety in all activities
4. Collaborative: We work in good faith to achieve common goals through discussion and cooperation. Our approach to decision-making is transparent, consultative and fiscally responsible
