Land governance is the control or administration of BC’s grasslands. Governance of BC’s grasslands is varied due to land ownership. In BC, the majority of grasslands are under private ownership, with the remainder held by First Nations or the Crown. The recently completed BC Grasslands Mapping Project – A Conservation Risk Assessment identifies 43.6 percent of BC’s grasslands as privately owned, 46.2 percent as Provincial Crown, and 10.2 percent as Federal, of which the majority is First Nations’ Reserve.
