Who We Are
The Morrell Nature Sanctuary is cared for by volunteers and managed through a non-profit society under British Columbia's Corporate Registry. The society, formed in 1984, has a Board of Directors who are elected by members of the Society.
Acquired in 1985, the sanctuary is on 111 hectares (278 acres) of land owned by The Nature Trust and managed by the Morrell Sanctuary Society for Environmental Education.
Money for the operation and maintenance of the park comes from private donations, bequests, and fees related to guided public tours, in-class presentations to students by trained interpreters, and various fund-raising activities. Morrell is a private sanctuary because it is not owned or managed by the City of Nanaimo, but it is open to the public from 7:00 am to 8:45 pm.
