NCC directly protects and cares for our country's most vulnerable natural areas and the plants and animals they sustain.
Since 1962, NCC and our partners have helped to conserve 14 million hectares (35 million acres) of ecologically significant land nationwide.

CNC protège par des actions concrètes les aires naturelles les plus vulnérables au pays et les espèces végétales et animales qu’elles abritent.
Chef de file de la conservation des terres au Canada, CNC a contribué à la protection de 14 million d'hectares (35 millions d’acres) de terres écosensibles depuis 1962.
You comment about removing all of the root when pulling. My understanding is that while Buckthorn will sprout from the stump, it does not root sprout. Do you have some definitve knowledge or documentation that it does, in fact, root sprout?
Let it grow and harvest in winter to make paper. The thick fibers can be used to produce paper, insulation material and all. Nothing is "weed" you can use them.
Bravo à toutes ces personnes qui ont eu la persévérance d'aller jusqu'au bout de la démarche. Je ne peux qu' avoir aussi une pensée pour mon frère, Jean, et me dire qu' il doit être heureux, lui aussi, de constater que ce projet de protection et de conservation a pu se réaliser grâce à des personnes comme vous. Bravo et merci!
Bravo NCC 👏 Buying and protecting natural spaces is so critical. Sadly as I write this Jasper has just felt the devastating effect of us humans not doing enough to truly protect nature. We must do better. 😔
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ AWESOME Humans need to be more like you - PRESERVE AND PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE AND THEIR NATURAL HABITATS Because you can not bring BEAUTIFUL Nature and Ecosystems back once it's gone it's gone forever !
Thanks for the video! We have lots here along the trails in Saskatchewan. This will help me get rid of them. I plan on using the girdling method in the spring and summer before the berries are mature. Also pulling young plants.
Generally good advice. Reusable metal or other buckets are better than using plastic bags for gone to seed plants. However if plants that have gone to seed are merely cut and removed, the remaining root can resprout and reproduce again if root is robust or not dead and growing conditions remain viable. The most important thing to remember is to be persistent at a site throughout a couple seasons and beyond, as viable seeds are often left in soil for years. Also, if you don't eradicate adjoining nearby populations, they can also help reseed your cleared site. As difficult as it seems and is, the results can be rewarding if the site already contains a good native plant inventory, as most natives can persist during an invasion, and by removing all unfair competition, they will thrive and eventually stabilize the site, particularly if synthetic antibiotic chemicals are not applied which destabilize the heart of the ecosystem, the soil.
Bravo CNC ! Il s’agit d’une autre région protégée du développement et je sais que vous protégez aussi des terres au Québec. Continuez comme ça ! Chaque parcelle de terre que nous protégeons compte. Merci!
Excellent video NCC! Keep up the good work protecting natural spaces from development. Especially with the calls we’re hearing these days of a shortage of 3MM homes in Canada. An insane number if accurate. Regardless, NCC’s role is now more important than ever.
Thank you NCC! I was just at your nature preserve in Backus Woods, near Long Point in Ontario. This old growth forest is a national treasure, thanks to Nature Conservancy of Canada!
Excellently done. Thank you very much for all the hard work you’ve put into this. I hope to travel the east Qu’Appelle and visit Fort Ellis this summer. One of my favourite places growing up was Ellisboro, particularly in the fall.
Well done NCC. Why I continue to donate, and feel fortunate to be surrounded by your conserved properties around the Frontenac Arch Biosphere in southeastern Ontario. Keep up the good fight.
Hey, I'm not a crier.. but my eyeballs just cramped up hard, was not expecting that! This was a delight to hear and see. I love how NCC is engaging with the working landowners and helping create this mutually beneficial arrangement.. beneficial to the landowner, NCC's goals, and indeed, these precious grasslands. Such a positive program here, positive results, so uplifting.. I surely look forward to learning of more such results. So appreciative of this particular representative of NCC, and this particular rancher landowner, much respect!
Not the kind of house I would build for any bird much less a cute chickadee. The smell of that glue would permeate that creation, nothing that I would do for any bird I liked. I used cedar for mine, gave it much better ventilation, and a swing open side hinged on 2 nails to access it for cleaning.
It is amazing that my cousin and I have been walking past Swishwash Island for years and really never stopped to look at it and wonder what it was. I looked on Google Maps and we saw the name,,,,,,,,, ( Swishwash Island) and I was so taken by this sudden revaluation that I even stopped to chat to various people on the dike trail and asked if they new anything about Swishwash. We soon realized that it is one of Vancouver's jewels in the sand hiding in plain sight. When I got home we looked it up and found this wonderful introduction to the island. Thank you for sharing the information and pictures and good luck with the continued conservation of this wonderful natural environment. Amazing !
I had a male LDD moth come to my porch light, so I know they're in the area yet I never see the caterpillars nor the female moths when I check the trees.
