Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is an essential practice for the management and operation of a land trust¹. It helps the organization focus its’ efforts to do the right work. Land trusts need to have an identity, direction and priorities; this Strategic Plan guides this process. The Strategic Plan provides a direction for The Land Conservancy of British Columbia (TLC); its members, donors, Board of Directors and staff. With this Strategic Plan TLC will be able to clearly and concisely communicate and form relationships with government, First Nations, other land trusts, business, land owners and the public. A goal of TLC is to complement the work of other land trusts in British Columbia (BC) while differentiating TLC’s role in the land trust and conservation movement. The Strategic Plan also enables TLC to monitor and measure its’ effectiveness in achieving its’ mission; ensuring TLC is doing the right work.

TLC has successfully come through a challenging financial and organizational period over the last ten years. TLC has taken stock of this situation. Now the organization needs to look after the places we have responsibility for, strengthen where the organization is going and communicate the role it will have in the land trust movement in BC. In light of these changes, is time for TLC to prepare a clear and thoughtful new strategic plan.
