About the Landmark Campaign

Completed in 2020, the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC’s) Landmark Campaign has been the largest fundraising campaign for conservation in Canada’s history. More than 110,000 donors came together to conserve more land faster, connect Canadians to nature and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. Over the course of this eight-year initiative, Canadians from coast to coast to coast took conservation into their own hands and donated more than $750 million to save the lands and waters that sustain us all. Together, we are delivering a historic and lasting impact for nature.

Visit nccnaturescapes.ca today and take a virtual tour of some of the 540 properties you’ve protected through the Landmark Campaign.

Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey of hope and conservation.  Let’s continue to build on this momentum, together, to protect Canada’s natural spaces.

We are pleased to recognize our donors who supported the Landmark Campaign. Read some of their inspiring stories about their support, here.
