Stewards of the Land

The Real Estate Foundation was a contributor to the Stewards of the Land video project, administered by Open Learning Agency. The following information is from the video jacket:

Across Canada, unchecked development, farming and mining threaten to destroy landscapes that have taken eons to evolve. In British Columbia, private landowners hold the greatest potential for preserving critical wildlife habitat. Stewards of the Land takes a gentle journey across the province, revealing how several of these unsung heroes are sharing their land with the plants and animals that also call it home.

Meet a common-sense cattle rancher, a far-sighted organic farmer, a 102-year-old guardian of a Garry Oak meadow, and a giant mining company willing to forego windfall profits. What motivates them to go the extra mile for the acreages they watch over? From rebuilding streamside habitat to placing conservation covenants on crucial ecosystems, their personal contributions add up to a healthier future for biological diversity. Stewards of the Land takes viewers onto the soil and into the hearts of these enlightened few, inspiring landowners to make their land a better place for all living things. (24 mins.)
