Help Protect the Natural Beauty of Gabriola Island
GaLTT is a volunteer-driven, community-based non-profit dedicated to protecting, enhancing and connecting Gabriola’s natural spaces.
From maintaining trails to securing land for conservation, your support helps us care for the island—today and for future generations.
Whether you’re a visitor, a seasonal resident, or a long-time islander, your donation truly makes a real difference.
Where Your Donation Goes
You can direct your donation to one of two key areas.
General Fund
A donation to our General Fund gives us the flexibility to use your contribution where it’s needed most, including:
- Maintaining trails and controlling invasive plant species
- Providing insurance for volunteers and trail users
- Printing and distributing newsletters and educational materials
- Covering essential operational costs
Your support helps us stay responsive to the island’s most pressing needs
Land Acquisition Fund
One of GaLTT’s central goals is to support land conservation and park creation on Gabriola. Donations to the Land Acquisition Fund go into a dedicated reserve used to:
- Help purchase land for parks and protected areas
- Support conservation covenants
- Partner with organizations like the Regional District of Nanaimo and the Islands Trust
Note: GaLTT does not typically purchase and hold land directly. Instead, we use this fund to support trusted partners in securing and protecting ecologically important areas.
Ways to Give
One-Time Donation
