As we close out 2025, we’re pleased to share the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association’s 2025 Year-End Report — a snapshot of a year defined by transition, persistence, and long-term thinking.
This past year brought both meaningful progress and moments of loss. We said goodbye to our founder, Daniel Bouman, whose legacy continues to shape our work and values. At the same time, we deepened relationships with First Nations, strengthened partnerships across government and community, and advanced conservation work that often happens quietly — but is essential to lasting change.
The report highlights how SCCA’s work spans watershed protection, forest and marine conservation, land-use planning, public education, and policy advocacy — all grounded in science, collaboration, and a long-term perspective.
From Fisheries Sensitive Watershed proposals and marine monitoring to land-use planning and public accountability, our focus remains on protecting biodiversity while building climate resilience across the Sunshine Coast.
You’ll also find an overview of our 2024–2026 strategic priorities, progress made this year, and where we’re heading next — including continued work on watershed-first planning, cumulative impacts, and aligning conservation with Indigenous rights and governance.
None of this work happens without community support. Community contributions allow us to act early, stay engaged, and carry conservation efforts through complex, multi-year processes — where it matters most, when it matters most.
We invite you to take a few minutes to read the full report, reflect on the year behind us, and consider supporting the work ahead.
Thank you for helping us tend what lasts.
