Donate Land
EALT accepts gifts of ecologically significant lands, which we will protect in perpetuity. You may also donate a Conservation Easement on all or parts of your property. Conservation easements are a tool to allow you to permanently protect natural and cultural features of your land, without giving up ownership or use, while EALT continues conservation of these lands in perpetuity.
Read more about how we conserve nature to learn about donating land, conservation easements, and about how conservation works. Our Planning Your Conservation Legacy Guide has additional information to help you understand the process of donating your land or placing a Conservation Easement.
Environment Canada's Ecological Gifts Program enables landowners to donate land and receive significant tax benefits.

Lu Carbyn purchased land in 2014 and decided it should serve as a conservation area and wildlife study area. He approached EALT for support and in 2017 he officially donated land to EALT. In his honour, it has been named Lu Carbyn Nature Sanctuary. "I thought, I have to protect this land ... to make sure that the future generations can have access to it," Carbyn said.
