The purpose of the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association is to preserve the natural biodiversity of the Sunshine Coast Region for the present and future benefit of humanity and all life: specially to: 1. Conduct research to inventory and describe our remaining natural areas with the goal of identifying land and waters important for the preservation of the biodiversity. All information collected will be freely available to the public. 2. Work to retain such lands and waters in a natural state and make them available for the public enjoyment where possible. 3. Raise public environmental and conservation awareness by sponsoring educational programs, workshops and access infrastructure ( for example: maps and trails to facilitate low-impact recreation).
