Comox Valley Conservation Strategy

Discover the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy & its Goals

The Comox Valley Conservation Strategy (CVCS) is a regional conservation planning framework, first initiated to stop the loss of ecological areas in the Comox Valley by promoting the conservation and restoration of land and water ecosystems. It aims to identify and map, protect and restore the critical ecological areas that are essential for ecosystem function, human and non-human health and survival, economic sustainability, and civic pride. It has the additional goal to provide reliable and accessible conservation information and data to politicians, planners, developers, community groups and residents, and to assist in wise and informed land use decisions and conservation actions.

The CVCS is a Community Partnership coordinated by a steering committee made up of representatives from local environmental organizations.

The CVCS was developed by the Comox Valley Land Trust based on environmental research and information from the report: “Nature Without Borders: the Comox Valley Land Trust Regional Conservation Strategy”. The report was undertaken over a 3-year period and released in 2007. The CVCS Community Partnership was created to carry out the work of promoting and implementing the Conservation Strategy and further development of the Nature Without Borders report.
