This fall, you are invited to join a critical conversation about protecting our unique nature in the Carolinian Zone, together.

In the Carolinian Zone of Ontario, nature and wildlife are on the decline. This Zone is our most biologically diverse, populated and productive region. Local nature protects healthy air, soil and drinking water for 11 million people.

Yet today, public and private parks and protected areas cover a mere 2.5% of the region while 85% of the landscape has been cleared of natural cover. The good news is that there are thousands of people and groups protecting nature in creative ways in harmony with diverse ways of managing land. Can we find a balance for a green future? Join the conversation to develop a collaborative Carolinian Zone Protected Areas Strategy with public, private and indigenous partners.
