The District of Summerland, with support from BC Nature, has officially registered 330 hectares of protected natural areas in the Canadian Protected and Conserved Areas Database (CPCAD) โ€” a national system tracking progress toward Canadaโ€™s goal of protecting 30% of lands and waters by 2030.

This recognition was achieved through the Municipal Protected Areas Program, coordinated by Nature Canada, highlighting Summerlandโ€™s important role in protecting biodiversity and supporting climate action.

These protected areas include some of Summerlandโ€™s most valued natural spaces, such as:
๐ŸŒฒ Giantโ€™s Head Mountain Park & Little Giantโ€™s Head Mountain Park
๐ŸŒพ Woodbridge Nature Preserve
๐Ÿฆ‰ Adamโ€™s Bird Sanctuary
๐ŸŒฟ Mount Conkle Park
๐ŸŒณ Priest Camp Historical Park
๐ŸŒฑ Living Memorial Park (partial)
โ€ฆand additional municipally owned parklands and natural areas.

Located in the South Okanagan โ€” one of Canadaโ€™s most unique and biologically diverse regions โ€” these ecosystems include dry forests, grasslands, and riparian habitats that support a wide range of wildlife, including many species at risk.

Protecting these lands helps:
โ€ข Preserve rare and endangered ecosystems
โ€ข Maintain ecological connectivity across the region
โ€ข Support climate resilience and biodiversity conservation

The South Okanagan is recognized as both a biodiversity hotspot and one of the most environmentally sensitive regions in Canada, making local conservation efforts especially important.

Summerland is proud to contribute to Canadaโ€™s national conservation goals and to help protect these special places for future generations. ๐Ÿ’š
