Formed in 1988 to purchase land for wildlife in the Okanagan Region, the board of the Southern Interior Land Trust Society aims to conserve and restore wild land as habitat for wildlife, since it is under increasing pressure from development.

SILT seeks to create a legacy of protected, important habitats for all living things by acquiring and maintaining ecologically significant gems and jewels of wildlife habitat in British Columbia's southern interior region. Our mission is to create “stepping-stones” for ecosystem connectivity and animal movement wherever possible.
