Savary Islanders love nature and greenspace according to the current OCP Vision Survey Summary Report and past surveys over the last 25 years. People have loved and enjoyed the beaches, forests, trails, animals, birds, sunsets, sunrises and the sanctuary of Savary for countless generations and hold these values close to the heart. Whether you are new to Savary or not there is always more to learn.

Every greenspace protected on Savary reduces density and is a win for every single Savary Islander. SILT is a small organization and has achieved significant results in land conservation over the last 30 years by working with individuals and organizations who care. It takes a community to save an island.
