This 9.4 hectare covenant on Denman Island was granted in early 1995. The property is owned for conservation purposes by the Trust Fund Board and the covenant is registered to the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Forested uplands and a small beaver-dammed wetland surround a large shallow marsh. The Trust Fund Board granted the covenant in order to provide an extra measure of legal protection for this environmentally important area.

Cunningham Conservation Covenant

This 10 hectare site lies at the south end of Salt Spring Island. The five owners granted the covenant to the Trust Fund Board in 1993.

The owners were developing a five-lot subdivision and wanted to protect and preserve the lots in their natural state.

The site has a fair range of biodiversity, including Douglas Fir and Arbutus forest and isolated rock outcroppings with Garry Oak.

In 1994, the Islands Trust Fund received title to 4 hectares abutting this property, to the north.

Scott Covenant

This one hectare covenant on Salt Spring Island was granted to the Islands Trust Fund in 1992, before the owners sold the property, to ensure that the marsh they had stewarded for many years would be preserved in perpetuity. The covenant includes a dense scrub buffer around the marsh.

Enchanted Forest

This 4.2 hectare covenant is located on South Pender Island.

The covenant was granted in 1992 to the Capital Regional District as a condition of approval of a Plan of Subdivision of Land to ensure that the covenanted lands will be used for park purposes only. A subsequent covenant was granted to the Islands Trust Fund in 1993 as an extra layer of protection.

This site is managed by the Capital Regional District. Hand-crafted interpretive signs, benches and walkways have been installed, in keeping with the natural beauty and eco-sensitivity of this land.

The Enchanted Forest is known for its uncommon plants, wetland species diversity, water storage capabilities, and general tranquillity.
