Referral Corner

-- Quote of the Day -- 

 “Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success – but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.” 

~ Vaclave Havel

Many of our regular readers are already familiar with this section of our blog - where we offer or suggest recommended resources for our readers to check out in their spare time. We hope that our readers will show support of the amazing organizations by helping to spread the word about them through their own blogs, or social media, etc. We also invite our readers to get involved with the organization or send them a quick note expressing gratitude and support for the wonderful work they do for us all. Feel free to scroll through our blog archives to find previously published Referral Corner posts.

Habitat Conservation Trust Fund: a non-profit charitable foundation acting as Trustee of the Habitat Conservation Trust. HCTF came into existence because its major contributors (hunters, anglers, trappers, and guide-outfitters) were willing to pay for conservation work above and beyond that expected by government for basic management of wildlife and fish resources. Their mission is to invest in projects that maintain and enhance the health and biological diversity of British Columbia’s fish, wildlife, and habitats so that people can use, enjoy, and benefit from these resources.
