Lasqueti Island Nature Conservancy protects and stewards the natural world on Xwe’etay/Lasqueti Island and surrounding islands & waters through education, restoration, community, and long-term protection of areas of ecological and cultural significance.
We acknowledge that Xwe’etay lands and waters are within the traditional territories of several Coast Salish Nations. In doing so, we also acknowledge the many generations of Indigenous Peoples who called Xwe’etay home.
