Help Protect Prideaux Haven

You have a rare opportunity to protect 100 acres (40.5 hectares) in Desolation Sound—one of British Columbia’s most dramatic and world-renowned marine areas.

This property borders Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park and faces the East Redonda Island Ecological Reserve, meaning its protection will directly strengthen an existing network of conservation lands.

Enjoy Forever

Enjoy Forever

Spending time in nature is such a huge part of who we are as British Columbians.

When we get outside, breathe fresh air, and feel the sun and wind on our faces, we reconnect with the living world around us—the forests, rivers, and wildlife that make this place home. That make BC, BC.

Those moments remind us why it matters to keep these places thriving, so that future generations can feel the same joy and wonder we feel. If we protect it now, we can enjoy it forever.

— Andy Day, CEO, BC Parks Foundation
