Island Nature Trust is Prince Edward Island’s first private land trust, established in 1979 to protect and conserve natural areas in Prince Edward Island. Epekwitk, Mi’kmaq for “lying in the water”, is a small sandstone gem at the edge of the Atlantic. We envision a future where P.E.I. has a network of protected, robust natural areas championed by knowledgeable, engaged Islanders.
Who We Are:
Island Nature Trust is a non-government, not-for-profit organization dedicated to protection and management of Natural Areas on Prince Edward Island (Canada). We acquire lands to be held in trust for future generations, manage these lands as an example of appropriate and sustained use, and help private owners voluntarily protect their lands. We work with government and private landowners to create a true natural areas network on Prince Edward Island, consisting of core protected areas connected by corridors.
Our Mission:
To create a legacy of natural areas and wildlife habitats for future generations.
Our Vision:
We envision a network of protected natural areas across PEI, sustained by the love and generosity of Islanders today for the enjoyment of Islanders and wildlife tomorrow.
