Annual British Columbia Conservation Areas Summary Report 2015 British Columbia NGO Conservation Areas Database Technical Working Group
August 16, 2016
About the BC NGO Conservation Areas Database:
Conservation partners have collaborated for a number of years as part of the British Columbia Non-governmental Organization (BC NGO) Conservation Areas Database Working Group to develop a comprehensive, standardized inventory of British Columbia’s non-governmental conservation areas (also known as private conservation lands). These areas include properties designated as Fee Simple, Registerable Interests, and Unregisterable Interests and complement the inventories created by the Federal and Provincial Governments for federal and provincial protected areas. The BC NGO Conservation Areas Database was developed from cadastral mapping of legal parcels by local governments. The attributes of each conservation parcel were populated with information obtained from conservation partners as well as by searching land titles. Fee Simple is defined as ownership of the title to a legal parcel. Registerable Interests are non-Fee Simple conservation securements registered on title, specifically conservation covenants and leases. Conservation covenants are a voluntary and legally binding interest on all or a portion of a legal parcel. The title is retained by the landowner, but the covenant and covenant holder (e.g. conservation organization) are registered on the title and bind the current and future owners of the parcel in how the land is used. Leased lands are managed for conservation similar to Fee Simple properties and are usually long term. There are some leases which are not registered on title and have not been included in the conservation areas data. Unregisterable Interests are conservation securements not registered on title. These are primarily conservation agreements but include other types of agreements as well. Conservation Agreements are voluntary arrangements with land owners to manage the land, or a portion of the land, with a particular objective. Importantly, overlapping ownership and/or management arrangements can occur on a single legal parcel. For instance, the purchase of a Fee Simple parcel may have been cost-shared with two or more conservation organizations who are all registered on the title. This same parcel may also have a conservation covenant registered and held by another organization. Technical development of the database is led by the Technical Working Group, namely Ducks Unlimited Canada, The Nature Trust of British Columbia and the Canadian Wildlife Service of Environment Canada. Project direction and coordination is led by the General Working Group members, which in addition to the Technical Working Group includes the Nature Conservancy of Canada and The Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia. The conservation areas of nearly forty conservation organizations are included in the database. The conservation parcels are produced with the cooperation of the Integrated Cadastral Information Society, which is coordinating the development of a standardized legal parcel fabric among British Columbia’s local governments, utilities, assessment office, land titles office, and the Provincial Government. Some small land trusts have chosen not to participate in this project. Their total conservation area currently amounts to 15 hectares and represents 16 properties. For the purposes of this database, securements held by the Islands Trust Fund Board have been included as NGO securements. As of the 2015 database update, local island trust committees have been included as Local Government organizations where they hold a secondary interest on a securement
primarily held by an NGO. Those securements with interest held only by a local trust committee have been removed from the database due to absence of NGO interest on these properties. The Annual British Columbia Conservation Areas Summary provides the most accurate identification of total conservation area in BC. Since NGO conservation areas may overlap with some Provincial and Federal conservation areas, the calculation for the total area of conservation lands in BC removes this overlap. Although Regional and Municipal Parks also add to the conservation land in BC, these data were not in a format that could be easily included in the current totals and are intended to be included in future iterations of the Annual BC Conservation Areas Summary Report. Total NGO conservation lands represent 159,424 Ha as of December 31, 2015. Overlap representing multiple securements on a single property has been removed from this figure.
2015 Area Value Updates The following changes to NGO securements in the BC NGO Conservation Areas Database occurred during 2015:
Securement Organizations
Change by Conservation Area Subtype Change in Total Secured Area (ha)*
Reason for Change Fee Simple (ha)
Registered Interests (ha)
Unregistered Interests (ha)
Cowichan Community Land Trust 0.0 +6.7 0.0 +6.7 New 2015 Registered Interest securement
Denman Conservancy Association -1.8 0.0 0.0 0.0 Property subdivision and transfer
Ducks Unlimited Canada +139.9 +23.7 -13,495.7 -13,332.1 New 2015 Fee Simple and Unregistered Interest securements; Spatial and attribute corrections to database; Removal of short-term agreements and grazing license from area values
Galiano Conservancy Association +8.0 0.0 0.0 +8.0 Spatial correction to database
Habitat Acquisition Trust 0.0 +14.7 0.0 +14.7 New 2015 Registered Interest securement; Spatial corrections to database
Islands Trust Fund Board +23.0 +25.0 0.0 +48.1 New 2015 Registered Interest securements; Spatial and attribute corrections to database
Nature Conservancy of Canada +2,133.5 +4,761.9 0.0 +6,895.4 New 2015 Fee Simple and Registered Interest securements; Addition of pre-existing securements; Spatial and attribute corrections to database
Salt Spring Island Conservancy +40.7 0.0 0.0 +40.7 Addition of pre-existing securement
Savary Island Land Trust Society +18.9 0.0 0.0 +18.9 Addition of pre-existing securements
South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls +2.4 0.0 0.0 +2.4 Addition of pre-existing securement
The Land Conservancy of BC -1,777.6 +1.1 0.0 -1,776.5 Property sales and transfers; Spatial and attribute corrections to database
The Nature Trust of British Columbia +65.9 0.0 0.0 +65.9 New Fee Simple securements; Spatial corrections to database
*This figure represents overall change in area of all secured lands (Fee Simple, Registerable Interests, and Unregisterable Interests) for each Securement Organization. This figure will correspond with the difference seen between years in the values for total secured area located in the “Conservation Area by NGO Securement Organization” summary table on the last page of this report. Please refer to the “Conservation Area by NGO Securement Organization” summary table for a complete list of total secured areas by NGO current to 31 Dec 2015.
In addition to the above changes, the securement type for local island trust committees was changed from NGO to Local Government. This resulted in the removal of six properties representing 37 Ha of secured land held by the North Pender Island Local Trust Committee and the Galiano Island Local Trust Committee due to lack of NGO interest.

As there can be more than one Conservation Area Subtype with interest in a conservation area, summing the area values for all Conservation Area Subtypes would lead to an overvaluation in the total conserved area. The “Total Area” removes the overvaluation and reflects the true conserved area. *The area value contains some uncertainty. It is sourced directly from respective securement organizations, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. **Total Area may change as uncertainty is reduced for Agreements and Other Unregistered Interests Not on Title.
