While Earth Day is a time to reflect on the bountiful gifts nature provides, it is more than just a day to Quails' Gate. This April the winery celebrates sustainability by entering its third year of partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada through a $25,000 donation to support the preservation of conservation areas within the Okanagan Valley.
Over the last couple of years, support from Quails’ Gate has added grasslands and moisture to wetlands that protect at-risk species as well as maintained upland forests of old growth cedar and hemlock trees that provide essential habitat for deer, bears, beavers and migratory birds.
Quails’ Gate Winery has made a three-year commitment to support the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) as part of their long-term strategy to incorporate sustainable practices across the company. This initiative supports NCC’s ongoing conservation work throughout the Okanagan Eco-region in British Columbia.
“Our company and our family are proud to support [the Nature Conservancy of Canada] in their ongoing conservation and stewardship work,” says Tony Stewart, CEO and proprietor of Quails’ Gate. “Through this partnership, we hope to raise awareness of sustainable practices in the wine industry.”
