Woman uses inheritance to protect 140-acre Canadian island forest

Domena Diesing took a significant step by investing her grandmother's legacy to safeguard 140 acres of Lasqueti Island, Canada. By teaming up with the BC Parks Foundation, she secured a permanent conservation status for the land, enhancing a vast connected reserve now exceeding 1,000 acres in the Salish Sea. This project commemorates Alfred Gaensbauer’s enduring dedication to environmental preservation, ensuring a legacy of rich coastal habitats for generations to come.
