The Land Between charity cares for the region that bears the same name. We develop programs and choose projects that benefit the nature, culture and socio-economy of the region, while understanding that our well being is rooted in the health of the natural systems and land around us.
The Land Between chooses projects within 7 program areas to achieve our 7 core goals. Find out more about each program area here.
Our current portfolio of projects includes:
- My First Shot – an unscripted documentary that uses the cultural practice of hunting in North America to understand the relationships of hunters to conservation and wildlife management

We are working on introducing:
- The Youth Arm of TLB
- Municipal Outreach programs
- Developing a Fist Nation Land Trust
- Building Between While we made significant gains to advance appreciation and protections for a local heritage building, and to restore the integrity of the structure towards its repurposing and occupation by a public trust, in 2017-18 the project negotiations with the owner fell apart and heritage features and areas of intrinsic structural integrity were compromised. Regardless, of this loss we will pursue the support for and promotions of green and better building solutions for the communities we serve and will revive these goals reinventing this effort in starting in 2021.
