restoration<br />
From planting trees to restoring wetlands,<br />
<strong>NCC</strong>’s Conservation Volunteers make the<br />
work of ecosystem restoration a reality<br />
Here at the Nature Conservancy of Canada (<strong>NCC</strong>),<br />
conservation is for the long term, and acquiring<br />
important natural areas is only the beginning of our<br />
work. Our team of skilled conservation scientists develops<br />
management plans that outline how best to care for every<br />
property that we own. Sometimes these properties need<br />
a little extra care — an ecosystem might be degraded from<br />
previous use, for example. When this happens, we turn to<br />
restoration as a tool to try and get these habitats back into<br />
the best shape they can be.<br />
Restoration projects take on many shapes and sizes<br />
across the country, from planting trees to creating wetlands.<br />
However, one thing is for sure: we couldn’t do this work<br />
without the help of our Conservation Volunteers!<br />
