“It’s a beautiful acquisition by the Nature Trust,” said Lee Middleton, Saturna Island trustee with Islands Trust.
A new land conservancy on Saturna Island has created a significant green corridor that includes B.C.’s rarest climatic zone.
The bioclimatic zone is poorly protected and largely fragmented because it falls in a heavily developed and populated area of the province, said Jasper Lament, CEO of the Nature Trust of B.C. Now, a trail can be established so people can traverse the length of the island and appreciate both mature and young forests, mixed woodlands, riparian areas and pocket wetlands that are crucial for at-risk species in the new conservation area, he said.
While the swallows hollow out nests in the sandy or muddy bluffs on the island, they’ve adapted over time to build nests under human-made structures, such as the eaves of houses or barns.
