The ecosystems within the Gulf Islands are extremely varied due to the climate and topography, and therefore are home to some of the rarest and most precious species in British Columbia. Some of the plant and animal communities that are displaced by human settlement can be very difficult to restore, so the best conservation is attained through protection of natural places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in situations where ecosystems are degraded, they can be restored to some degree and become places that provide homes and resources to many coastal creatures. Indeed, much research shows how important small and medium-sized patches of healthy ecosystems can play in the overall health of native plant and animal populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coast Alive Services helps property owners, stratas, covenant holders, and governmental and non-governmental organizations restore natural forest and wetland ecosystems through the development of a comprehensive, multi-year plan. Such a plan will combine elements of invasive plant control, native planting, wildfire risk reduction and wildlife habitat enhancement to create a diverse, resilient and naturally beautiful landscape. The plan would also be forward looking, and take into account changing climatic and social conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
