Habitat Acquisition Trust is a regional land trust dedicated to conserving and stewarding ecologically and eco-culturally significant lands and waters across the southern Salish Sea region.
Through community stewardship, habitat restoration, education, and land protection, HAT works to sustain biodiversity, cultural values, and climate resilience for generations to come. Our work is guided by three goals: conservation through reconciliation, deepening the impact of stewardship programming, and ensuring organizational and staff well-being. Learn more about us here.

Make a Donation
As a charity, HAT relies on donations to steward significant habitats across the region. Donate once or set up monthly donations using our donation form, or donate via other methods such as cheque or e-transfer. For other forms of donations, such as securities, mutual funds, property, etc., please contact Shania LaFreniere at shania@hat.bc.ca. For non-monetary donations that you believe HAT would benefit from receiving (office chairs, event tents, etc.), please email us at hatmail@hat.bc.ca.
Become a HAT Member
Membership is one of the principal aspects of how Habitat Acquisition Trust is governed. The purchase and renewal of memberships represent a consistent, community-based funding source that HAT relies on to undertake our work. Become a member by selecting “I would like to become a HAT member” on our donation form, or become a member without donation with our Reduced Barriers Membership.
Volunteer with Us
We are always looking for passionate individuals to help out with our diverse restoration projects. When we have restoration events or other volunteer opportunities, we add them to our event and volunteer opportunities calendar. We will also send out upcoming volunteer opportunities in our monthly newsletter, The Fern!
