Conservation Section

Conservation Hot topics: Click here for a list of ongoing conservation issues.

The Conservation Section meetings are held St. Mary's (Kerrisdale) Anglican Church, 2490 West 37th Avenue (at Larch Street), Vancouver, on the second Wednesday of each month except for July, August and December, starting at 7:30 PM.

Most meetings take the form of round-table discussions on conservation issues brought to the Section by Society members or others for consideration and the Society's action. The Section relies on members to identify local concerns related to conservation and development. The Section also invites guest speakers to make presentations for a larger audience on conservation issues of special interest. Action arising from Section meetings usually takes the form of letters to municipal, provincial or federal decision-makers and may be undertaken in conjunction with other associated organizations such as the Federation of British Columbia Naturalists. Other forms of action may be through meetings with decision makers, presentations to municipal councils, or use of the media.

The meetings of the Conservation Section are open to all members of the Society.

If you have a conservation concern to bring to our attention, or if you would like to assist with the Section's research, letter-writing and other projects, please contact Daniel Overmyer.
