THE NATURE
LEGACY SOCIETY
Recognition List

“ My hope is that 100 years from now,
someone walking that same trail, and
thousands of trails like it from coast to coast,
will enjoy its natural splendour the same
way we do today.”
ROBINDRA N. BOSE

The Nature Legacy Society (NLS) is a special group of more
than 1,200 Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) supporters.
NLS members have invested in the future of Canada’s natural
heritage through a gift in a Will, a gift of life insurance or a
gift of registered retirement funds. Their extraordinary
commitment gives NCC the confidence to continue to plan
for conservation priorities and to continue to care for the
natural areas we have protected together for future wilderness
and generations.

NCC IS GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMITMENT OF OUR NATURE LEGACY SOCIETY MEMBERS.
