Join us for this engaging event! We’ll meet at the Millard Learning Centre Classroom before heading out on a leisurely plant walk to discover the plants used in our salves. After the walk, we’ll cozy up in the Classroom for light refreshments and a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn all about the salve making process. Each participant will leave with a salve, perfect to enjoy yourself or to share as a gift!
The Galiano Conservancy Association offers free stewardship consultations for all interested owners and residents/renters of Galiano properties, and additional resources and guidance for those interested in making a non-binding pledge to be a Nature Steward.

Deepen your connection to nature, inspire others and become an environmental change-maker with hands-on learning experiences on Galiano Island.
The Galiano Conservancy was founded in 1989 as one of British Columbia’s first community-based land trusts. It has grown to become a leader in nature conservation in BC through proactive land stewardship.
The Galiano Conservancy is working to restore our island’s ecology in the heart of the Salish Sea and the Coastal Douglas-fir zone.
There are hundreds of Species at Risk in British Columbia, and the Galiano Conservancy is involved in protecting many of those found around Galiano Island.
Many of us have a desire for increased food security and for a closer connection to our food sources. The sustainable food systems developed by the Galiano Conservancy are models of environmentally, socially, and economically-sound sustainable agriculture.
The climate crisis is the defining issue of our time, and the Galiano Conservancy is working to help foster climate-resilient island communities and ecologies.
There are many ways to get involved and support the work of the Galiano Conservancy. Community participation is vital to the success of our organization.
