We Are the SCCA
Our Mission, Goals & Objectives
The SCCA is a charitable non-profit society dedicated to conserving and restoring biodiversity in the Sunshine Coast Natural Resource District (SCNRD).
We develop and lead transformative conservation campaigns to protect watersheds, ecosystems, and species through research, education, alliance-building, and advocacy in the territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, shíshálh, Tla'amin, Klahoose, and Homalco First Nations.

From forests to oceans, healthy ecosystems are our best defense against climate change—and they depend on all of us.

BCTS logging plans ~April 13 Deadline
Logging is proposed in over 100 areas across the Sunshine Coast—including forests that supply drinking water and support species at risk.
We’ve identified 25 high-risk blocks. Some are already approved for auction.
We’ve done the maps and analysis, to make it simple to comment.

Healthy Watersheds
Fair Water Rates Will Increase Resilience
In BC, climate change is worsening droughts and stressing our drinking water watersheds. While households face rising water costs, large industrial users pay very low rates.
As a member of the BC Watershed Security Coalition, we are urging the province to modernize industrial water rates and direct the revenue toward watershed protection and climate resilience.
