The Conservation Partners Program is an initiative of The Land Conservancy which aims to forge a mutually beneficial partnership between Conservation and Agriculture in BC. 

The purpose of the program is to protect and enhance important habitat on privately owned agricultural lands by providing recognition, incentive and assistance to growers who are committed to conservation of natural habitat on their farm.
As recognition for their active involvement in habitat conservation Big Bear Ranch is rewarded with a conservation partners label to place on their produce boxes and products.
