The Kiyooka Land Trust Foundation (KLTF) now owns and will steward a 29 hectare (72 acre) wetlands/riparian property in Tête Jaune Cache, BC. We are thankful for the generous financial support of the Kiyooka family who donated the equity of the property, the Government of Canada land acquisition grant through the Natural Heritage Conservation Program and Land Trust Conservation Program, and individual private donations. Together, we have protected this land for future generations of all life!
Shout out to the Land Trust Alliance of BC for supporting our mission and encouraging KLTF to apply for the land acquisition grant through the Natural Heritage Conservation Program and Land Trust Conservation Program!
We are a registered not-for-profit charitable society situated in Tête Jaune Cache, BC, on the traditional territories of many First Nations including the Secwépemc, Lheidli T’enneh and Rocky Mountain Cree. Our purpose is to conserve important wildlife habitat and to protect the ecological integrity of lands we hold in trust in the Robson Valley region. We also aim to provide educational opportunities for environmental stewardship, and to nurture sustainable, resilient communities.
“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” — Albert Einstein
