Joining Naturescape
British Columbia

Click Here to Access the Order Form

The natural environment of British Columbia boasts more biodiversity than any other part of Canada. Unfortunately, the highest concentrations of biodiversity in British Columbia, located in mountain valleys, river courses, estuaries and deltas, also contain the highest numbers of human populations; thus resulting in habitat loss for many species. However, as British Columbians there is a great deal we can do to prevent this loss, right in our own backyards!

Individuals acting at their homes can make a big difference. All you need is a little space - a balcony, patio, yard, or acreage - each is potential wildlife habitat where biodiversity may be restored and protected. Your first project need not be either expensive or overly ambitious because simple projects, such as installing a planter, a feeder, or a bird bath, are effective ways to start.

By joining Naturescape British Columbia you are provided with the resources necessary to restore your outdoor space to a more natural state. The resources arrive in the form of a Naturescape Kit which provides program information and benefits in two stages.

Stage 1: The Naturescape Kit which contains:

  • A provincial guide featuring instructions and illustrations for designing wildlife habitat appropriate to your particular site, building a pond, erecting bird and bat houses, and much more!
  • A native plant and animal booklet which features the indigenous plants and animals in your region of the province
  • A regional resource booklet that lists publications, naturalist organizations, garden clubs, participating garden centres and retailers, and wildlife rehabilitation centres.
  • A Naturescape British Columbia membership card which entitles you to discounts at participating retailers.
Stage 2: Additional Benefits included in the Naturescape Kit is an easy-response questionnaire that encourages you to describe your outdoor space and how you have made it more attractive to wildlife. Upon receipt of this information we will send you the following materials:
  • A Naturescape British Columbia sign for your yard to demonstrate that you care for wildlife habitat at home
  • A Naturescape British Columbia newsletter featuring participants’ reports about projects they have undertaken, a question and answer department, plus seasonal information to keep you up-to-date throughout the year
