SO Love This Place

The South Okanagan Conservation Fund is a dedicated source of funding for the specific purpose of undertaking environmental conservation projects. This Fund ensures the  sustainability of our communities, environment and protects our quality of life now, and for the future.

Our natural environment contributes greatly to our quality of life. Healthy lands ensure clean and abundant water, fresh air, habitat for fish and wildlife, local food, working farms and ranches, and natural places for people to enjoy.

Today, many of our natural areas are in trouble and are at risk of being lost or damaged forever. Action is being taken now to invest in the environment so it continues to sustain us.

The South Okanagan is a special place, and residents here care about where they live. By establishing the Conservation Fund, we have created a powerful opportunity to turn a modest contribution into amazing achievements that will benefit us now and for generations to come.

As farmers, we are stewards of the land. This means the natural areas around our farms as well as the vineyards that give us the wine.
