The BC Assessment Tool originated in 2009 developed by The Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia LTABC. In 2023, LTABC partnered with The Alliance for Canadian Land Trusts, the Ontario Land Trust Alliance and Le Réseau de Milieux Naturels protégés to update the self assessment tool with a national and bilingual format.
Funding for this project was generously provided by Environment & Climate Change Canada, The Land Trust Alliance of BC and The Alliance for Canadian Land Trusts.
