Your feedback is needed! Take the short, 5 minute survey to share your thoughts on the Nature and Biodiversity Strategy within the District of North Vancouver. Survey closes Sunday, May 24.

https://www.dnv.org/community-environment/nature-and-biodiversity-strategy

A big reason people love living here is how close we are to nature. Our forests, streams, and coastline support healthy ecosystems and help shape who we are as a community.

Our Nature and Biodiversity Strategy is all about protecting these natural spaces and making sure they stay strong in the face of climate change. We’ll do this through smart planning, community stewardship, education, and working together.
