Island Nature Trust is dedicated to the protection of Natural Areas on Prince Edward Island
since 1979 for the benefit of Islanders and wildlife

A protected Island is:

A place where people and wildlife can thrive together

In protecting nature, we are also protecting ourselves.

Nature sustains our quality of life, but it needs a little help to keep giving and growing.

An ecologically diverse home that gives

We rely on natural areas for clean water, fresh air, healthy soils, and dense forests.

Their ecosystems absorb carbon and act as natural buffers against oncoming climate impacts, making them our best defence against climate change.

Your forever
Island

We protect our natural areas in perpetuity so you and your children can enjoy them for years to come.

The gift of nature to future generations is an epic tale you can be a part of.
