About the Stewardship Centre for British Columbia (SCBC)
Stewardship broadly defined is an ethic that recognises the need to conserve and restore ecosystems for current and future generations of all species. Stewardship is not just a technique. It is a philosophy, and a commitment to act in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner.
Stewardship exceeds legal obligations. It refers to a wide range of actions and activities of individuals, communities, groups and organizations acting alone or in partnership, to promote, monitor, conserve and restore ecosystems.
The SCBC Vision Statement:
British Columbians understand, enjoy, and sustain healthy ecosystems through stewardship
SCBC Mission Statement:
Our mission is to strengthen ecological stewardship in BC by providing technical, educational, and capacity building resources and fostering partnerships among organizations, groups, governments, and the private sector.
SCBC Principles:
The following principles guide the operations and initiatives of the Stewardship Centre for BC:
- Information presented by the Stewardship Centre is credible, knowledge-based, accessible and responsive to the needs of stewards in BC.
- Stewardship Centre programs are partner-based, inclusive, and non-partisan.
- Stewardship Centre initiatives respect the interests and rights of all participants.
- The Stewardship Centre conducts its operations in an effective, efficient and accountable manner.
Strategic Plan:

A New Path Forward:
After over a decade of producing technical resources for stewards, the SCBC was incorporated as a non-profit society in 2006, and held it's first AGM in February 2007. We look forward to many more years of serving stewards!
