We’re excited to share that the Regional District of Nanaimo and Mosaic Forest Management are continuing constructive and positive conversations to help secure Hamilton Marsh as a future regional park and conservation area.

Since November 2025, the RDN and its partners have secured over $25 million toward this once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect one of our region’s most important forest and wetland ecosystems. In a significant step forward, Mosaic has agreed to revise the purchase price to $28 million, demonstrating a shared commitment to conservation and long-term community benefit.

With the reduced purchase price and the incredible generosity shown by community members, stewardship groups, and partner agencies there is real and growing optimism that an agreement can be reached.

Thank you to everyone who has pledged and donated to show that Hamilton Marsh matters. Your support is being heard, and it’s making a difference at the regional decision-making table.
