Heritage Forest Membership
Brown Property Preservation Society Membership
The Heritage Forest is protected in its natural state by a Conservation Covenant that directs co-operative management involving the Town of Qualicum Beach, the Brown Property Preservation Society (BPPS) and TLC The Land Conservancy of British Columbia.
It is important that the BPPS as a registered society, maintain a vigorous membership. Occasionally, BPPS members are invited to volunteer for work parties to remove invasive species of vegetation, carry out maintenance of the natural wood chip trails and to take steps with Town Parks staff to reduce forest fire hazard where feasible. BPPS membership funds provide informative interpretive signage, maintain this website and carry out required annual Society reporting.
Estate funds can be bequeathed to be used only for the purpose of investing in initiatives that contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the Heritage Forest over time. Before any money is used from the Heritage Forest Reserve Fund, the Town will seek input the Heritage Forest Conservation Covenant Grantees; the Brown Property Preservation Society and TLC The Land Conservancy of British Columbia. The Town issues a charitable tax receipt to the Estate. Feel free to inquire about the Qualicum Beach Heritage Forest Reserve Fund Establishment Bylaw No. 699. 2015, Amendment Bylaw No. 917, 2026.
If you have a keen interest in birds or plants, you can contact us for species lists of what may be observed in the Forest. Please stay on the trails and leave the flora for others to enjoy.
