Protecting Natural Areas on Prince Edward Island for the benefit of Islanders and wildlife, since 1979.
What is a protected Island?
A place for people & wildlife
to flourish
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 rich
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 – 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.
How can I help?
