Please join us in welcoming to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) our new Chief Executive Officer Dan Buffett, due to take up the post in February 2020.

From his humble days as a summer student to his role as manager of BC’s conservation program with Ducks Unlimited Canada, Dan brings to HCTF over 25 years of conservation experience. Along the way he completed his master’s degree in Resource and Environmental Management from Simon Fraser University. Dan’s background in hands-on habitat restoration and conservation planning will serve him well as he leads HCTF forward in our mission to improve conservation outcomes for BC’s fish, wildlife and habitat areas.

Dan is thrilled to be part of the HCTF team, with its solid reputation for managing a wide range of funding projects which enable important conservation initiatives throughout BC. He believes that working cooperatively with partners generates better conservation outcomes and has worked with governments, NGOs, agricultural producers, industry, and individual landowners to promote conservation efforts throughout the province. From all of us here at HCTF, welcome Dan!
