Be A GUARDIAN For Nature
Discover Your Role
Welcome to the heart of our ‘Be A Champion for Nature’ campaign, where your journey begins as a Guardian for Nature. Here is your gateway to an extraordinary world of hands-on conservation through volunteering and stewardship, where your connection to Prince Edward Island’s natural treasures deepens, and your impact becomes tangible.
What Does It Mean to Be a Guardian for Nature?
As a Guardian, you’re not just an observer of nature; you are its protector. You actively engage with our island’s diverse ecosystems, rolling up your sleeves, and immersing yourself in the protection of biodiversity. It’s a path for those who are passionate about making a direct impact on the ecological health of Prince Edward Island.
1. Volunteer Opportunities:
If you’re ready to get involved in conservation efforts as a volunteer, this is your starting point. Explore volunteer opportunities and find out how you can actively participate in our mission.
2. Passport To Nature Events:
Explore the vibrant calendar of Passport to Nature events, where you’ll have the opportunity to connect with the island’s unique ecosystems and wildlife up close. These events are your gateway to hands-on conservation experiences and unforgettable encounters with the Island’s natural beauty.
3. Stewardship at Home:
Discover how to be a Guardian for Nature on your own parcel of land. Learn how landowners can protect their piece of nature through small actions such as planting native trees in their backyard or securing legal designations to safeguard the land through private stewardship.

Ways To Protect Your Land
Private Stewardship
You can retain ownership of the land and still place it under NAPA protection. Our resource guide “Protecting Natural Places in Prince Edward Island”’ provides more detail on this option.
Donate or Sell Your Land
For those who are able, the act of giving land to a land trust so that it may be protected is the ultimate in generosity. Island Nature Trust profoundly appreciates anyone who considers such a gift.
