Formed in 1989 as an instrument for community-based acquisition, management and conservation of land and habitat, the Galiano Conservancy has become a broad-based organization whose primary purpose is “To preserve, protect and enhance the quality of the human and natural environment” on Galiano Island. From its beginning, the Conservancy has been devoted to:

land and marine conservation
stewardship and restoration; and
environmental education and public awareness.

Our Annual MUSICAL WALKALONG FOR LEARNING, is a delightful mix of music, nature and a celebration of environmental education. This event raises funds for bursaries to provide access to nature for children and youth of all backgrounds. These bursaries allow children who otherwise would not have the opportunity, to come out to Galiano Island from the city and experience nature in a fun, hands on learning environment. It is truly magical to see kids touch a sea star for the first time, or learn how to set up a tent and get to sleep under the stars.
Every year friends and family join us for a unique outdoor experience with musicians playing flute, cello, horn and more along forest and seaside trails. With a new route this year through the beautiful Millard Learning Centre property, the trail will take you through woodlands and wetlands, and through our Forest Garden and Forage Forest. This magical musical afternoon ends with refreshments and snacks for purchase and free hand cranked ice-cream.
